I wrote a Zork bot[0] for IRC a few days ago, and really started wondering why the tech community more or less gave up on IRC, especially businesses. Instead of a free, open source, reliable, distributed multiuser chat we now have the walled gardens of Facebook, Hipchat and similar services.
It's sad that we can now, essentially, not do much more on the net than we did 20 years ago, but now it has ads and spies on you.
