Questions tagged [chat]
Use this tag for general questions regarding natural text information exchange as it takes place between people in chat rooms, for example on /irc channels, or over mobile phones using text messages. For 'chat', the automated conversational script with a modem, use /chat-command. For general information exchange between devices, the tag /protocols is more appropriate.
