Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to communication bridging among protocol-disparate chat rooms in a telecommunication system. According to a specific example, a data communications server data communications server transmits chat messages between a plurality of protocol-disparate chat rooms accessible by users of a communication bridging service, a user interface (UI) circuit receives from a user of a first protocol-disparate chat room, a command requesting formation of a communication bridge associated with the first chat room, and a circuit facilitates formation of the communication bridge by generating a URL (uniform resource locator) associated with the communication bridge, by sharing or distributing the URL to a user of a second protocol-disparate chat room, and forming the communication bridge between the first chat room and the second chat room using the URL. Also, a processing circuit may transmit chat messages between the first and second chat rooms by detecting a type of chat room used by a computing device associated with the user of the second chat room.
