IRC - Internet Relay Chat

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a live chat area of the Internet in which real-time conversations among two or more people take place via special software. IRC is considered another part of the technology of the Internet the same way FTP, Telnet and the Web are - it's been around since the early days of the Internet.

It works in much the same way as IM services like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, or AOL Instant Messaging. With your client, you connect to a channel, and can then chat to everyone else who is in the channel with you.
