So now you know all sorts of things about the Internet. But you're
probably wondering, wouldn't it be nice to talk back and forth with
someone without having to continuously send e-mails? Online
conversations in which you are immediately able to send messages
back and forth to one another is called chat. Often you'll hear
people say, "I was chatting last night to someone from [this
state.]" Other times you'll hear them say "I was chatting to someone
from [this country.]" Chances are they weren't talking about the
telephone, which can cost a few cents every minute. They were
probably talking about online chat. Online chat doesn't cost
anything extra, as long as you have an Internet connection
Online Chat
- is a way of communicating by sending text messages to people in
the same chat-room in real-time. The oldest form of true chat rooms
are the text-based variety.
Innocentangel.org has a live chat-room as well as Instant
Messaging system that allows the members of the site to convesate,
interact and get to know each other more.
The primary use of a chat room is to share information via text
with a group of other users. New technology has enabled the
use of file sharing and webcams to be included in some programs and
almost all Internet chat or messaging services allow users to
display or send to each other photos of themselves.
Innocentangel chatroom usually have stringent rules that we require
users to follow in order to maintain integrity and safety for the
members. We do not allow advertising or flooding, which is
continually filling the screen with repetitive text. Typing
with caps lock on is usually considered shouting and is discouraged.
Chat rooms usually have a list of rules for users to obey when they
chat online though they are not usually kept.
