I am researching different types of ways people use the internet to communicate. I need other ideas.
So far my list includes:
AIM/Yahoo messenger/skype type programs
E-mail
Forums
IRC (Internet relay Chat)
SecondLife and OpenSim
BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) via Telenet
MOO's and Muds
Please help me find more and add to my list. The programs I'm looking for should use a client program to connect to the internet or another server. These programs should either be socially based or have features that allow for multiple users.
Thanks folks.
Edit:
I am also very interested in more like the latter 3, BBS's, Moo's/Muds and SecondLife - programs that not only let you communicate but also do other things like build or play games and other unique features. I am writing a paper for a local newbie computer club and i am going to split these things up into categories. The reason I say client based or non normal browser is because these types are less common and are easily missed by the casual new internet user. I'm trying to offer a wide unique variety.
