Ask YC: IRC channel for startup people and/or YC hackers?

Actually, I did a Google search and found this thread:

Looks like freenode #startups is the place to be, perhaps?

Exactly. It's not always real active... I guess that's a sign people are busy with other stuff, which is good.

IRC is a waste of time. The best things happen in real life.

Occasionally, just very occasionally, great things happen on IRC. Unfortunately, it happens so infrequently. You'd get more success by concentrating effort elsewhere.

Too right! Don't bother with email or phones either. They are useless :/

I hang out on freenode #fauna. there are a bunch of rails hackers and startup people there.

#ai is good.

#python for help in python

#c++ to help ;)
