IRC isn't kludgy / annoying unless if you make it so (which means being on the wrong servers or the wrong channels.)

Case in point: irc.freenode.net #startups

LOL. Actually, you just made the point. If you have to be on a "right" server or a "right" channel, that's the definition of kludge. Mainstream adopters don't want to figure out what's right and wrong.

Heheh. Touche
