Publisher's Note This second edition is an introduction to the popular and trendy interactive online communications forum found on the Internet. The unusual feature of IRC is the ability to immediately communicate through the multi-user, multi-channel communication system with many people. Advanced tricks and techniques have been added to this edition in how to more effectively use mIRC and Pirch.
Industry Reviews Internet Relay Chat, a.k.a. IRC, is one of the most popular uses for the Internet. It usually has a terrible interface and serves up screens full of text that make no sense until you get lost in the flow. It is so popular because it offers pure communication: both multiuser and multichannel at the same time. Where E-mail is like the letter, IRC is like a digital sock hop. Toyer covers all the bases: where to get IRC software, where to find IRC on the web, and how to deal with channels, plus IRC netiquette, and even business uses of IRC. Highly recommended for all collections. Kakutani
