@psy, the patent was only granted in late 2007, early 2008 (it takes awhile) (it's also incredibly vague and could almost be argued to hold sway over IMs and Facebook/Myspace sites)

start worrying if/when NCsoft loses, they went after them first because their warchest is small and they want a judgment in their favor. (part of the judgment they're seeking is a declaration that their patent is enforcable)

they are announcing other targets now to dissuade other developers from bankrolling NCsoft's case. Worlds knows they have a losing case, they just need one ill-informed judge/jury to suddenly be rolling in it.
