IRC
IRC is somewhat of a relic of an age of computing gone by. back before the dotcom boom, back before iPods, even before the advent of the Nintendo 64, this near instantaneous and primitive form of communication led the way for people to quickly share ideas and thoughts. the crazy part is that they're still up and running. I kinda like them to be honest. In a world where alot of social interaction happens on social networking sites, meeting unfamiliar people on the internet is a virtual impossibility with the exception of dating sites, and even those aren't so adventurous when you know the people that frequent those sites are looking for either 1 of 2 things. so what happened to finding a channel that interested you on the internet and talking to some random stranger about anything that interested you? to me, people in general (with exceptions of course) have accepted the internet and computing as a fact of life rather than a technology to be further explored. IMO IRC is one of the few relics left that allow you to make unlikely friends that aren't "mutual friends" with someone you know on Facebook (previously the Top 8 on MySpace).
Does TFP think that IRC is going to die out? What are your favorite channels? who is the most interesting person you've met on and IRC? is IRC going to be the new 'underground' culture once websites become/became the new social centers of society? Have you ever learned anything interesting on an IRC? what was it?
