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