Cool Tools Episode 19 Screencast: Mibbit
Mibbit is a tool that allows people to connect to IRC, an internet chat service. This tool is incredibly useful for getting people to communicate because the chat program can run right in a browser using Ajax. People can put it on their blogs or webpages and have visitors gathering and talking about stuff in real time.
Hi Ken. Thanks for sharing this tool with us. I have a question for you. How do you learn about the commands? I saw that used a couple when you were participating in the chat. And how would you help library users to learn them?
Hi Ken, I had not heard of the IRC or this Mibbit tool, so thanks for describing these in your screencast. I assume that you let others know your channel # and then they can chat with you by selecting that channel, right? And how do you make it a permanent channel again? Thanks. -- David
