Description
Instant Messaging (IM) is a real-time, Internet-based method of electronic communication between two or more parties. IM may also be referred to as "chat". Utilizing a software application known as a "chat client", multiple users can compose and send messages to each other in forums known as "chat rooms." In addition to manually composed mesages, chat sessions may contain various automated software-generated messages that convey information about disseminated National Weather Service (NWS) products. NWSChat is the name for the system providing IM capability to the NWS. NWSChat consists of hardware and software maintained by NWS and client software that can be accessed via a web browser or downloaded on the users computer.
