IRC
How do people interact? While the meeting has a "flow" to it, because of the asynchronous characteristics of the typed responses, it is more of be a flow with ripples.
What is the pattern of communication? Is it linear or branched? Formal or informal? One-to-many, one-to-one or a mix? Generally, a linear flow of ideas but with a lot of small branching in and out of the current theme. It is informal. Generally, it is one-to-many, interspersed with occasional one-to-one communications; i.e. it is a mix.
Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? Don't think I noticed any.
Can you make any other observations? At first, I thought the comments to oneself (the /me commands) were inhibiting the flow of the meeting. On further reflection, I think they add value by giving a little comic relief.
