Chat Rooms: The Basics

Chat Rooms: Basic Information and Types:

Chat Rooms are an online service which creates a venue for users with a common interest to interact and communicate with each other in real time. Chat rooms have the capability to hold multiple users, rather than just 2, so the user is able to have a large group conversation. They do not require any special software to use in most cases. Chat Rooms can be accessed using a "Screen Name". The rooms are beneficial for those killing time on the internet by communicating with those with common interests; however, they are also quite dangerous.
