Internet Chat Quick Tour
A fun, comprehensive guide to chatting online using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Topics include chat etiquette; installing, retrieving and using IRC clients; instructions on connecting to a public IRC server; troubleshooting; and an Online Companion enabling users to jump to chat forums of their choice.
Most of the ideas presented are applicable to IM and other chat systems as well. The IRC service, still popular, was a forerunner of Twitter and similar Web 2.0 technologies that now combine elements of chatting and blogging.
