Abstract
An apparatus, a method and a medium for providing and processing information, whereby users of a chat system send easily and rapidly to one another a URL for uniquely designating the location of a file on the Internet. A hard disk drive of a WWW server records predetermined keywords and addresses for uniquely designating the locations of information corresponding to these keywords. A CPU of the WWW server receives any one of the keywords which is included in text data from an information processing apparatus, and translates the keyword into data with a tag related to the address corresponding to the keyword in question.
