| How to get started on Internet Relay Chat.
What is Internet Relay Chat? In Short (IRC) is One of the most popular and most interactive services on the Internet. The Web is nice for finding information and E-Mail beats snail mail 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 you can exchange text messages interactively with other people all over the world. Some of the more popular chat clients are mIRC, Pirch, XChat and Virc for Windows and XChat or Ircle for Mac's, Amirc For the Amiga. What program you use does not really matter as 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. Next Page> |
