IRC has no standardised way for handling contact lists (some servers have a bot based implementation), no proper offline messaging support (some servers have MemoServ), no easy way to find which of your contacts are online (WHOIS them all and see which are there, I guess?), and no proper permanent identification for users (they can register with NickServ, but on some servers this still allows users to log in with the same nick when the first user is offline, it just means the original owner can kick the other person when they log in). It's very good for its intended purpose, but it's not good for IM usage. |
