Gopher is a protocol/system that pre-dates the World Wide Web. Similar to the web in many respects, Gopher is a more strict system that requires each page to be defined by a particular format and type. Gopher was very well established and popular, however over time the web became much more popular. In spite of this, there are still a few Gopher sites on the Internet today.Instant Messaging (IM) is a technology that
allows an end-user to text chat with another end-user in
real time. The most popular instant messengers are:
- AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)
- MSN/Windows Messenger (Comes installed with
Windows XP)
- Yahoo Instant Messenger
- ICQ

these messengers, there are other clients that have been
written that will allow messages to be sent over these
systems. Most allow you to combine multiple IM services
