I wonder whether IRC (or at least freenode) will get overwhelmed at some point.

I wonder whether ISP-s will start offering IRC hosting as part of a low-end hosting package. Or whether there's a P2P model for Live Chat

An IrcBot is an app that pretends to be another user - it listens for things and responds by posting output to the channel.
