Free chat rooms are very similar to social networks, such as Facebook, but give people the opportunity to chat live in real time with webcams whilst meeting new people and forming new relationships with people from all around the world. Many chat websites have all or most of the tools that any other social network has but with the basis of meeting strangers and making new friends.
Chat rooms enable people who are sometimes a little shy around large groups of people a platform to socialise without inhibitions, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. Confidence can be gained chatting to other people online, even for the most unconfident person in the world. If you are a bit lonely, maybe it´s too cold outside to go out or even if you are just a bit bored, chat rooms will help you pass the time whilst meeting interesting people of all walks of life and cultures from around the world.
Webcam chat rooms make meeting new people lots more fun, you get to see the person, expressions, hear their voice and learn lots more about the person you are chatting too. Webcam chat rooms also make it a lot safer than talking to strangers by text only method. For example, if the person you are chatting too has a profile photo of a rock star and for some reason, can´t get their webcam to work or say "sorry my webcam is broken", you know straight away that this person is not who you think they are! When chatting live on cam with another chatter, you know who it is, maybe it could be a rock star, always check the cam first though!
Some chat rooms have moderators and admins who will protect the chat room from internet preditors and scammers, these chat rooms are the best to use for your own personal safety. Before entering any chat room, make sure that it is moderated by an admin team of moderators and make sure that they are monitoring the chat 24/7. This should be written clearly on the homepage of any chat website. Chat rooms that don´t have moderators can be full of malicious people, scammers, perverts and paodophiles who will try to take your personal details, these kind of chat websites should be avoided. Always make sure that the chat room that you choose to use has an admin team of moderators. If you meet someone in a chat room who you feel is unsafe, you should report this straight away to an admin or moderator and they will check out the persons IP and profile and take the neccessary action, such as a ban.
A safe way to start chatting to people in a chat room is to get to know the admin team first. They will introduce you to trusted members who have been around for a while, this is safer. Most of the members you meet will most probably be on cam, because they really have nothing to hide! When you get chatting to members, you will be invited to groups or other chat rooms on the site that they have created. This is all part of building up relationships online, eventually you will have met many new friends from all over the world. Most chat rooms have a large member base, so it doesn´t take that long to become popular, if you stick to the chat rules and take part in online social events.
Free chat rooms are free because they are managed like a business and to do this, they have to rely on advertising revenue which is normally hard unless the website is busy. The best chat rooms on the net are free because the owners care for the site and a good site gains a good reputation, bringing in more people, more people, more advertising revenue which is used for more improvements in the chat rooms. A paid chat room is either ads free or simply not up to the standard where it can promote itself through its own reliability and popularity. Chat servers are expensive to run and software updates are also very expensive, a top chat room is one that can fund itself through popularity without the end user having to pay for it.
Chat rooms have been around longer than dating websites, true fact. The first ever chat room was created in 1980 and was the CompuServe CB Simulator. The first ever dating sites appeared in the late 1990´s, early 2000s. Dating websites have since exploaded all over the internet, with literally thousands of websites offering online dating services. In the USA alone, the dating market is expected to spend $932 million in 2011. Some people prefere to use free chat rooms instead of dating services to meet their ideal partner. First of all, free chat rooms are free and second of all, if the chat room has a community base of chatters, you can be introduced easily, helping to break the ice for the more unconfident person. Many people, including myself, have met their long term partners in chat rooms, we are now engaged. I live in Spain and she lives in USA, we spent 40 days chatting on cam and I decided to make a go for it and took off to America for 3 months. I am now back in Spain and sat right next to me is my beautiful fiance who I met at www.liveonlinechat.org!
Chat rooms are great fun even if you have a lot of friends and a good social life. It is a great way to sit in the comfort of your own home and meet different people from all over the world, learning about different cultures and making new friends. If you are a little bit shy, it is also a great way to introduce yourself without the stress or worry of physically being within a large group of people. Chat rooms have been around for a very long time, if you haven´t experienced one before, you should try it out!
