Connecting Talback Forums to arbitrary Web Pages

Talking back to the WWW

While e-mail and netnews support interaction between users, typical WWW communication is uni-directional -- from the web page creator to the reader, but with no facility for talkback from the reader to the creator or between readers. This paper discusses how talkback can be added to the WWW and presents how this is implemented in the KOM 2000 system.
