hehe, Mark -- just to drop a singular historical note in the mix -- I was 
regularly doing live/online networked text/sonic/visual improv & storytelling 
with my students in Finland, Germany, Norway, Iceland, and @ CU-Boulder between 
'93-'04 via IRC, iVisit, CUSeeME, VDMX, REAL, and FTP (some scattered evidence @):
