What is a chat room?
January 3rd, 2008 by howardj
Chat rooms, or chatrooms, are any form of communication through text messaging to people in real time. When you send a message in a chatroom, anyone who is a member of that chatroom and is online can read it and respond to it immediately. The kinds of chatrooms include Instant Relay Chat, talkers and havens. Many people began using text based chatting, or IRC, due to AOL or web chat sites. Some text-based chatrooms, called graphical user interface, even allow the user to select an identifying icon and to personalize the look of their chat environment, the screen on which they view messages.
