#librarything - the IRC channel

Why not have a #librarything-chat in IRC? Well, here we are..

What is IRC? "Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication and data transfers via private message." (Wikipedia). See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC .

Server: freenode.net
("freenode, formerly known as Open Projects Network, is a popular IRC network used to discuss peer-directed projects.[1] Their servers are all accessible from the DNS name chat.freenode.net, which sends the users to the server in rotation that is best able to accept new connections." Wikipedia - see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode )

Channel: #librarything
Wikipedia: "The basic means of communication in an established IRC session is a channel. You can see all the channels in a server using the command /list [#string] [-min #] [-max #] that lists all currently available channels, optionally filtering for parameters (#string for the entire or part of the name, with wildcards, and #min / #max for number of users in the channel).
Users can join to a channel using the command /join #channelname and send messages to it, which are relayed to all other users on the same channel.
Channels that are available across an entire IRC network are prepended with a ' # ', while those local to a server use '&'. Other non-standard and less common channel types include '+' channels — 'modeless' channels without operators, and '!' channels, a form of timestamped channel on normally non-timestamped networks."

You will need to install an IRC chat client and connect to this server.
For IRC chat clients see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients .
