IRC is an acronym for InternetRelayChat, a client/server protocol for reasonably simple text chat. While not the earliest form of realtime chat on the 'net, and certainly not the predominant form in a world rife with instant messaging systems, it may nevertheless represent the purest and most usefully feature-rich chat protocol.

There are great numbers of IRC clients available for most operating systems, in part because writing an IRC client appears to have at various times been a rite of passage for a certain breed of programmer, and in part because very few of these clients are actually much good (and no one can seem to agree for long on which few).
