Abstract

A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to facilitate an instant messaging conversation between a first computer and a second computer on a network. A first request for a report specified by the user of the first computer is processed. A first portion of the report is returned to a first output device of the first computer and a second output device of the second computer. An interaction signal characterizing an interaction with the first portion of the report is processed to produce a second portion of the report. The second portion of the report is routed to the first output device of the first computer and the second output device of the second computer.
