I can connect to Chatterous rooms using the ways I already communicate - IM, SMS, Email, etc. I don't use IRC often (and neither do most people, I suspect). For the die-hard IRC user, Chatterous is probably not that different. For people that want an easier way to chat in real-time without changing existing user behavior, it's great.
