Voices from IRC

Well, this is a big switch. I'm trying out MIRC after two years of Chatzilla. Being a channel moderator means I need to get familiar with a few more tools that I need to know. Too bad MIRC looks like something that used to run on my 8088. But, it's been around for more than a decade, it can't be too bad.

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. You use a client to connect to a server, and then join a room. For example, you can connect to the Wyldryde servers by typing: /server irc.wyldryde.org and then you can join Chris Pirillo's channel (sometimes called a room) by typing: /join #chris

You can join other rooms in the same way and talk to people from all over the world that way about anything.
