Webtile IRC Compact Edition

With the advent of mobile devices and the higher availability of Internet connections in homes, chatrooms and IRC might seem like a relic of the past. Then again, if you are the kind of person who prefers real-time discussions with hundreds of people or you would like to have a private means of sharing information, then an IRC might be an alternative to ponder upon.
Webtile IRC Compact Edition is a tiny piece of software that enables you to chat with people from all across the world from Windows devices that are incapable of supporting a resolution higher than 800 x 600.

Comes with a minimalistic, yet well-structured interface

In spite of the fact that it may not seem much to look at, let us not forget that the application is developed for devices that do not have the hardware to support high resolutions. Then again, this does not necessarily mean that you cannot run the program on top-of-the-line devices if you want to.
The GUI is comprised of the main window that is split into three main sections, namely the channel chat area, the server cmd log and a panel that enables you to stream videos from YouTube. You can preview a list of the users, change the channel, search for other servers and add users to the private chat room by accessing the corresponding functions in the upper section of the UI.

Includes a YouTube viewer function

The YouTube viewer is a nice touch to the program, as it enables you to search for more details on the topic you are discussing, for instance. Alternatively, you can listen to some relaxing music while you are waiting for your friends to join the channel, for example.
In case this is the first time you are using an IRC client, then you can take a look at the help section and learn the basic commands. Settings-wise, the application is as simple as it looks and solely enables you to set alerts for new messages or modify the fonts, so that the chat is more convenient to read.

A simple app that can be helpful for users with older computers

In the eventuality that you own an older notebook, tablet or computer with an obsolete video card, but would like to meet new people or share ideas and thoughts with a closed group of friends, then perhaps Webtile IRC Compact Edition is worth a try.
