I didn't know twitch uses IRC, though I wouldn't categorize in the same box as traditional channels and networks either. I mean, the protocol might be the same, but it clearly is used in an entirely different context.

There are stand-alone twitch chat clients now which support all its extra bling, but AFAIK they are just glorified IRC clients.
