I think instant messaging scratches a different itch than FidoNET and othernets do, honestly.

Information in instant messengers is highly volatile. Lots of very short messages flying by at light
speed. Compare that with Fido, which people uses for elaborated responses.

I keep hearing about the migration from traditional media to instant messengers... you'd be surpriseed
how worried web forum users and administrators are. However, they are in the same boat. You can't do in
an instant messenger what you do on a forum, and viceversa.

You may as well try to gateway Fido to IRC :-P
