In light of
the horrifying attack on the WTC and the Pentagon in the U.S. I read that many
of the sites carrying news accounts could not be accessed because of the volume
of (broadband) traffic. Apparently instant messaging was not affected and many
people were exchanging thoughts and concerns in this IRC environment.
Have any
auditors considered setting up peer to peer (p2p) IM lists for audit
purposes?
If you have
any interest in doing this we would need to determine which instant messaging
system the majority of auditors are on. The IM systems I know of are as
follows:
AIM (AOL
Instant Messenger)
YM (Yahool
Messenger)
MIM (MSM
Instant Messenger) also recognizes MSM Hotmail
mailboxes
ICQ
If there are
others I would like to know.
If there is
interest please let me know what system you are on and I will let list
subscribers know which IM would work best as a audit p2p im
network.
