We use Freenode, #grooveshark is an open channel for random techie users who want to talk directly to developers (or each other), and people working on 3rd party extensions/add ons to Grooveshark. We have other internal invite-only channels for coordinating with external developers on internal projects. We also have github spamming a channel now whenever changes to a repo that a lot of people are coordinating on get pushed. The #redis channel saved our asses at least once when Pieter Noordhuis wrote a script to help us with a particular issue we were having. :) And the #facebook channel has been a useful resource as well. I was wondering if anyone here uses IRCcat: http://www.metabrew.com/article/how-we-use-irc-at-lastfm http://www.metabrew.com/article/how-we-use-irc-at-lastfm I know flickr also uses it and it seems like it would be insanely useful to have notifications about all kinds of things going into various channels. I know flickr also uses it: http://velocityconference.blip.tv/file/2284377/ http://velocityconference.blip.tv/file/2284377/ Haven't spent much time working on it but so far the bot gets kicked for flooding immediately. May only be a problem because we're using freenode for testing. Long term want to run our own IRC server, but for testing it was easier to just use freenode...
