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 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication server is provided comprising a first user interface (UI) module configured and arranged to receive a request to form a communication bridge between a first chat room and a second chat room. The VoIP communication server further comprises a uniform resource locator (URL) generation module configured and arranged to facilitate formation of the communication bridge by generating a URL associated with the communication bridge, and identifying chat room protocols associated with the first and second chat rooms. The VoIP communication server further comprises an assimilation and processing module configured and arranged to translate chat messages using the specifications for the first and second chat room protocols, and transmit chat messages between the first chat room and the second chat room.
