=============== http://expedia.msn.com/daily/forums/asia/chatroom.hts? If You Use a Chat Application Other Than Microsoft Chat You can also access Expedia's chats via any Internet chat client by connecting to the server publicchat.msn.com and then joining channel #expedia, #themeparks, #expedia_famtrav, #expedia_cruise, or #expediaeurope. =============== That's like saying "To access this web page, telnet to foo.com, port 80 and type GET /Foo.html" At least it will be seen that way soon. I suppose those instructions are necessary in the transition while support for irc: URIs aren't widely supported, but for those of us who *do* have irc: URIs on our desktop, please just write: <a href="irc://publicchat.msn.com/expedia">expedia channel</a> After all: ======== http://www.w3.org/Addressing/ Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs, aka URLs) are short strings that identify resources in the web: documents, images, downloadable files, services, electronic mailboxes, and other resources. They make resources available under a variety of naming schemes and access methods such as HTTP, FTP, and Internet mail addressable in the same simple way. They reduce the tedium of "log in to this server, then issue this magic command ..." down to a single click. ======== See: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt 26 Aug 1996 linked from: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/schemes -- Dan Connolly, W3C Architecture Domain Lead http://www.w3.org/Architecture/ telephone:+1-512-310-2971 (office)
