Talkomatic

Talkomatic is an online text-based chat application that was created in 1973 by Doug Brown and David R. Woolley. It is notable for being one of the earliest examples of a multi-user chat system. The platform allows multiple users to enter a shared text space where they can communicate with each other in real time. Talkomatic operates in a unique manner: it features multiple chat rooms, each with a limited number of text lines, likening the experience to a form of asynchronous conversation.
