>I think IRC is slowly dying, unfortunately, going the way of the plaintext mailing list and moving to things like Slack. No way :D. irc.freenode.org is booming and the live stream of conversations with strangers is far more interesting than the limits of 140 characters and Slack teams limited to company. Here are some wonderful IRC channels on irc.freenode.org ##security - There are spooks in this channel! (800 people) #RubyOnRails - People fixing each others rails code (500 people) #DN - Community for UX (40 people) and more! I've been enjoying IRC as much as Meetup now.
