IRC (Internet Relay Chat) may not be as popular as it used to but it’s still used by millions everyday worldwide. It’s still a highly efficient form of communication because it’s very easy to install and since it mostly text based, it will not require a lot of resources from its users.

A recommended IRC client is ClicksAndWhistles. It’s a simple application that will allow you to chat in IRC instantly. Installation file is very small (only 1.06mb) which means you can start chatting in IRC in just a few minutes after download. If you’re familiar with an IRC, you’ll really enjoy using ClicksAndWhistles because of its additional features without using additional resources.

Among the features in ClicksAndWhistles is the support for different server connections at the same time. Some users are actually on a different server and old IRC clients can only support a single server. This means you have to disconnect from one server before you can chat to another user. But ClicksAndWhistles removes that restriction by allowing various servers to run at the same time in one client.

Other impressive features of ClicksAndWhistles are the additional function that could be launch by right clicking on the chat window, customization of background with pictures and additional username if you want to be identified as a different user in other chat windows. Along with the standard features and commands that come from a regular IRC client, ClicksAndWhistles can be considered as an upgraded IRC client that offers more features for better chat experience.
