    Online Instant Messaging: Keeping Your Child Safe and Secure Presented by: Meredith Stannard, Nauset Regional High School [email protected] Barbara Dominic, Nauset Regional Middle School [email protected] Kathy Schrock, Nauset Public Schools [email protected] Spring 2003 1 Instant messages are lasting ©2001. USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2001-06-21-teens-im-lasting.htm By Karen Thomas, USA TODAY Breaking up. Making up. Making plans. Asking out. Saying "hey." From the mundane to the emotionally charged, there are no limits to the ways today's kids connect and bond over instant messages (IMs) — those pop-up text windows used for carrying on real-time conversations online. "It's not just empty chatter. They're using (IMs) to have difficult conversations — someone's talking behind your back and you want to confront them," says Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Internet & American Life project. Its survey, out Thursday, finds that nearly three-fourths of online kids ages 12 to 17 rely on IMs to keep in touch with friends. Caroline Barker, 16, is among 35% of teens who use IMs daily; she chats with about 10 close friends and 50 acquaintances in the Bethesda, Md., area. "It's especially good for making plans, or if you're just bored," she says. "It's a given that everybody has it," adds her friend Valerie Hutchins, 15. These Maryland friends IM while doing homework, talking on the phone and watching TV. And they offer insight to the complex social rules that come with a form of communication that still has many adults bewildered.

  • Instant Messaging
    Instant Messaging what’s so gr8 about it? Cybertour | March 18 | Cindi Trainor 1 What is IM? Communicate real-time Users are notified when others come online Can share files, communicate via video with most programs IM vs “chat rooms”: When chat first came about, a user would log into a room full of people who were all interested in the same topic, and all those people saw everyone’s messages, but users could send “private” messages to an individual, if desired. IM is kind of the opposite: users primarily send messages to individuals but can set up multiple user chat rooms if desired (but users control who’s in a multi-user chat by invitation). 2 Why Use IM? Instant communication Send links, files, photos instantly Can multi-task Our users are familiar with it 3 Common Features Contacts list “Display picture” – an Customize your icon representing you messages’ Privacy features appearance Log conversations Games Set your status: Send and receive “away,” “offline,” files “busy,” etc. Multi-user chat Emoticons (“smilies”) Profiles With major IM programs, users add only the people that they want to chat with to a contacts list (buddy list, friends list). Messages’ appearance: font face, color, size Files: photos, dox, etc (can sometimes be slow vs using email with attachments) Multi-user chat: “chat rooms” Icons: some are static, some are animated or even customizable “avatars.” Privacy: can set it so that only your buddies can contact you; most have invisible mode 4 But… chat reference? IM is chat reference Hosted systems can be expensive, OR Use IM to supplement hosted system If you aren’t using chat reference in your library, IM is a cheap alternative to hosted systems to get your feet wet.

  • A Flexible and Scalable Media Centric Webrtc
    An Oracle White Paper May 2014 Towards a Flexible and Scalable Media Centric WebRTC Towards a Flexible and Scalable Media Centric WebRTC Introduction Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) transforms any device with a browser into a voice, video, and screen sharing endpoint, without the need of downloading, installing, and configuring special applications or browser plug-ins. With the almost ubiquitous presence of browsers, WebRTC promises to broaden the range of communicating devices to include game consoles and set-top boxes in addition to laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. WebRTC has been described as a transformative technology bridging the worlds of telephony and web. But what does this bridging really imply and have the offerings from vendors fully realized the possibilities that WebRTC promises? In this paper we discuss the importance of WebRTC Service Enablers that help unlock the full potential of WebRTC and the architectures that these elements make possible in this new era of democratization. New Elements in the WebRTC Network Architecture While web-only communications mechanisms would require nothing more than web browsers and web servers, the usefulness of such web-only networks would be limited. Not only is there a need to interwork with existing SIP1 and IMS2 based networks, there is also a need to provide value added services. There are several products in the marketplace that attempt to offer this functionality. But most of the offerings are little more than basic gateways. Such basic gateways perform simple protocol conversions where messages are translated from one domain to another. Such a simplistic gateway would convert call signaling from JSON3, XMPP4, or SIP over WebSockets, to SIP, and might also provide interoperability between media formats.
