Please stop calling anything on the internet real-time. Response time is not guaranteed here.

I guess you mean hard realtime. What usually on the web is called realtime is soft realtime IMHO.

Sure I get, but I think it just dilutes the meaning of the term "real-time" to use it in a soft context.

Soft realtime isn't a new thing. Chat has always been soft realtime.

Well I guess this depends on the context. Usually when I talk about real-time I talk about soft real-time and explicitly state "hard" when I talk about hard real-time (which I don't really do as I don't do hard real-time ;)).
