Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Video Conferencing


1. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) :

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message and both chat and data transfer via Direct Client-to-Client.

IRC was created by Jarkko Oikarinen in late August 1988 to replace a program called MUT (MultiUser talk) on a BBS called OuluBox in Finland. Oikarinen found inspiration in a chat system known as Bitnet Relay, which operated on the BITNET. IRC client software is available for virtually every computer operating system.

2. Video Conferencing :


A videoconference also known as a videoteleconference is a set of interactive technologies which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmission simultaneously. It has also been called visual collaboration and is a type of groupware. It differs from videophone in that it is designed to serve a conference rather than individuals.

Videoconferencing uses telecommunications of audio and video to bring people at different sites together for a meeting. This can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites. Besides the audio and visual transmission of meeting activities, videoconferencing can be used to share documents, computer-displayed information, and whiteboards.

Most of the business conferences are held with business executives who are located at various branches, in such cases every time the business executives cannot attend the meeting by travelling to the conference location. In these circumstances, the video conferencing software is the most optimal solution for connecting all the business executives to the conference virtually.
