There's a lot of current communications programs that still use IRC's underpinnings in them.  I know Twitch (an online streaming platform) uses a slightly modified version of IRC as its chat service.  I am on Twitter and Facebook but rarely use both.  I still like BBSing, IRC, and amateur radio for social networking.
