Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is one of the most popular and most
interactive services on the Internet. Sure, the Web is nice for finding
info and E-mail beats snailmail hands down, but when you've been
wondering 'where the others are?', then IRC is what you're looking for.
IRC is the net's equivalent of CB radio. But unlike CB, Internet Relay
Chat lets people all over the world participate in real-time
conversations. IRC is where the Net comes alive!
Using an IRC client (program) you can exchange text messages
interactively with other people all over the world. Some of the more
popular chat clients are mIRC, Pirch, and Virc for Windows and Homer or
Ircle for Mac's. What program you use doesn't really matter; all of
them connect to the same chat networks. When logged into a chat
session, you "converse" by typing messages that are instantly sent to
other chat participants.
Meeting people. IRC is great fun and you'll sure meet lots of
interesting people and find nice spots to hang out! But, IRC is not
something that you should just jump into without first reading up on
it. You could feel very lost if you do not know some basic commands
before you enter IRC, and you might not even know how to get out of IRC
after that :o) So, we suggest you read some documentation (help files,
readmes, FAQs etc) before you get connected to an IRC server, or it can
be very frustrating for you when you get stuck. No worries, all info
you need is available on mIRC's web pages and... mIRC makes things
really simple!
