Hey n00b, hehe just kidding! 
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication.
For a full page about IRC, check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC
Also here's a nice IRC server you can test:
Server: irc.freenode.org
Channel: #googlecommunity

Ok, thanks for that. I've managed to get onto the server (by typing in /server irc.freenode.org), but how do I get into the channel (I've tried /channel #googlecommunity)?

I tried again today. When I got into the channel, it said | Quote: | [INFO] Channel view for “#googlecommuity” opened.
-->| YOU (Kenmcfa) have joined #googlecommuity
[INFO] This channel requires that you have registered and identified yourself with the network's nickname registration services (e.g. NickServ). Please see the documentation of this network's nickname registration services that should be found in the MOTD (/motd to display it). |
/motd doesn't work.

Type this:
/msg nickserv register [password] [address@domain.ext]
And by the way, it registers the username you are using at the time of sending the message to the nickname operator. |
