excelente cliente para platicas por internet. Les dejo un breve tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1EQ3ZKz8gM
Once used to it, you wonder why you never used it b4. I like it a lot, terminal is great and non intrusive while working :)
Great for reaching irc from the terminal! Easy to figure out if you've ever used irc before.
If you like to work in the terminal, you will love irssi. In combination with screen it even exceeds it's own awesomeness.
If you want to chat on IRC from the command line, this is one of the most powerful IRC clients for you.
Ultrafast, scripts, themes and simply awesome irc-client for people that enjoy the terminal. Can be hidden in a 'screen' on a shell to keep it open.
