Janine, can you share links to the sites? I'm seriously interested in this idea of a friendlier interface for IRC.

One of the sites I've found them on is more technical, but another is definitely not. The embedded version is very newbie friendly.

That sounds workable and hopefully friendly.

    There are plenty of people using IRC, but many of them don't know it. There are chatroom/IRC hybrids, generally on forum
    sites. You embed the chat window in a web page, and anyone can join in. Those who want can use any IRC client to get to
    the same channel, but with more features.

        Exactly. IRC is for the old school and ubergeek. And as Sue has said in the past - we're only going to "retain" specific
        types of people to be long term editors (ubergeeks like us) but, if we can figure out a solution to help out the "average
        joe/sphine" editor...
