IRC is one of the best ways to chat online with friends. It was developed before many of the other instant messaging systems and can run on almost any platform.
So I've setup an IRC channel specifically for Freaks Gaming group, so that it'll be easier to communicate with everyone.
Easiest way to do it, is to just open up a web browser and put in this link.
http://webchat.esper.net/?..&channels=freaksgaming
This will send you to the web-chat window for the group. Just create a nickname for yourself and connect to the chat room. Please try to make your Nickname as close to your gaming username as possible. That way it'll be easier to figure out who's who, when just chatting or when you're in the game. And make sure that your name is "appropriate" for people of all ages to see, as this is still technically a public channel.
This chat room will eventually tie into the in-game chat in Minecraft. Meaning, that if i'm in the game, I can see and chat with all of the people that are only in the IRC channel, and vice versa. This way you can talk back and forth with people in Minecraft even if you're not physically playing.
You can also install a small piece of software on your PC, laptop, tablet and smart phone, that will also allow you to connect to the IRC channel, if you want to get a little more fancy than just the standard web-chat browser.
Any questions? Jump into the IRC channel and ask anything you want.
See you soon.
Big Gabe
