Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

1 Conversation


Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, is an Internet standard used to create chat rooms where like-minded people can come and talk about a particular subject. To chat on IRC, you need to get an IRC client1, and then connect to an IRC server2. IRC servers are arranged into networks, so that you can connect to a server that is geographically near you and still be able to talk to someone else on the other side of the world.
