Say, Gnutella seems an excellent way to promote file transferr; why not take the same tech and apply it to chat, direct from pc to pc? Well, macs too.

I concur. Maybe even integrate it into one (well, or all) of the Gnutella clones? That way you could ask people for stuff too. I for one have lots of progs/files that I don't share coz they don't all fit zipped on my HD, but it'd be little trouble to share 'em if someone asked me...

Why ot use a "simple" IP-Chat?
You could include a code which allows you to contact users via their IP-Addresses, mostly those you found by a search.
This would enable you to message someone, from whom you recently got interesting data, and thus find new contacts or even friends as soon as you exchanged e-mailadresses or similar.

p2p chat is a feature of most IRC clients.....
It's called "DCC"- direct client connect, and works stable since i-don't-know-when back in (yeah.)

Gnucleus has the CHAT feature you talk about now!
Latest version is 1.32.
