IRC was invented by Jarkko Oikarinen. It is real time internet chat/conferencing. It is used for group communication but can also be used for person to person chat. It was used originally to report on the Soviet coup attempt of 1991 and also in the Gulf War. A channel is the basic means of communication in an established IRC connection. Commands are single-line messages that are sent to the server. These are sometimes handled entirely by client and sometimes passed directly to the server.

IRC seems to be a reliable medium of communication. It has been used for decades and allows conversation to take place between a large amount of people or as few as two. I would recommend the IRC for Southland Media.
