We had presence in Cambridge in 1990. Also, in response to the other comment, it was network location independent. For example I could log on from a Computer Lab DECstation. The presence information was then available University-wide. No one had to ask that specific workstation for my details. However, anyone who wanted could see which DECstation I was logged in from, what room in the CL I was sitting in, and so on.As for IRC and VAX phone, yes they're clearly earlier examples of chatting, but I think it's stretching it to say they had presence.
Funny, it didn't seem at all profound at the time, but it was years ahead of the competition... :-)
