IRC Messenger
-
Version
2.0
IRC Messenger is an innovative tool for chatting with
your friends and contacts on IRC. It's the only
existing messenger made just for IRC!
IRC Messenger boasts many features, such as a
skinnable interface, encrypted chat, and voice
(microphone) chat.
At its most basic level, IRC Messenger is no different
from any other popular messaging program, such as AOL
Instant Messenger or MSN Messenger. It is simply a
program that lets you make a list of contacts, and
when those contacts are online, you can chat with
them.
However, when all the features and aspects of IRC
Messenger are considered, it is much different from
those other programs. For example: while AOL Instant
Messenger works through the AOL network, and MSN
Messenger works through the MSN network, IRC Messenger
works through, of course, the IRC network.
For those of you who don't know, IRC stands for
Internet Relay Chat, and is one of the oldest and most
popular chat networks in use today. People from every
imaginable location on the Earth congregate on this
network, and IRC Messenger is simply a tool you can
use to tap into that vast arena.
Technically, IRC Messenger is called a "client," which
is used to connect to IRC "servers." The servers are
what everyone who wants to use IRC has to connect to
in order to communicate with others. They use clients
to accomplish this. However, the great thing about IRC
Messenger is that technical knowledge of IRC is not
required, like it is in other clients. IRC Messenger
will automatically connect for you, so you can just
load it up, and begin! No other client makes it so
easy.
Check out the image above to see IRC Messenger's
beautiful and simple interface. If you use IRC, you
need to give IRC Messenger a chance. It's free to try!
If you don't like it, it has a quick and easy
uninstall.
