What is instant runoff voting?

While watching the "third-party" candidates debate at Cornell University, I heard something about Instant Runoff Voting. All of the candidates, including Peroutka, favored such a system. I'd be curious what readers might think of such an approach. Apparently, Ireland has been using a similar system to elect presidents and Australia uses the method for its House of Representatives; both for 90 years. posted by Lee Shelton.
