I use IRC daily, mostly for chatting about web-related design and
development. I find the instant feedback, advice and general chat on
IRC channels are an indispensable resource to tap into throughout the day.
Freenode is where I find my usual channels, like #web, #javascript,
#css, etc... Freenode is known as a very "techy" network and plays host
to chat channels for almost every open-source software project,
including the Internet. :)
I use mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/), a free web-based IRC client, to
access a variety of chat networks like EFnet and Freenode. I like using
mibbit because it colors each chat participant's text individually,
making it easier for me to tell who I'm reading.

Hey good idea.
How about EFnet? It's pretty stable....I'm in #ixda on EFnet right
now...this is any unclaimed channel, I'm the only one in here.
Of course, since I don't have a bot, and I turn off or close my
machine every night, I can't stay connected to the channel permanently
to keep the claim.
But with enough people...
I am personally too lazy to download an IRC client like Trillian(pc)
or Colloquy(mac), and instead use a plug-in for Firefox called Chatzilla.
Or people can use the web interface that is right on the
http://www.efnet.org/ home page.
I personally connect to servers like kagmir.ca, prison.net, or magic.ca
But here is the predominent EFnet server list:

I would love an IRC channel... It might sound counter intuitive, but I
actually have an easier time using IRC at work than responding to long
email threads :)

Is there a channel for IxDa'ers? If not, could we make one? I would
love to
be able to ask questions and chat in an informal way if possible.
This could be local....I am in PDX so I am shoutin' out to PDX IXDA
peeps :)
Thoughts?
