I don't know anyone who's used IRC in the last fifteen years at least.
At least back when I used IRC, it wasn't indexed either. It was just an alternative to AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Chat.
I still use it occasionally. It's primarily used for smaller, more private communities, but Wikipedia also hosts official IRC rooms, too. I don't know of any other major companies that use IRC in an official capacity, though.
