Cybersight Real-Time Chat Session
|
www.cybersight.com
|
This chat site is excellent for
beginners. Type in you name or alias...insert a message...press submit and VOILA!
Instant chat. View new messages by pressing the RELOAD button or simply by
submitting a new message. You will find this site TOO simple when you get more
advanced at chatting, but for starting out it is the best on the net...

The Globe
|
www.theglobe.com
|
There are pros and cons to chatting
at this site. HEAPS of people chat in the various different rooms The Globe has to
offer and they are generally a friendly bunch. There are lots of chat rooms to
choose from, the chat room listing tells you how many people are in each room and there
are added bonuses to the site such as discussion forums, free email, personal ads and an
advice column. However, there is a lengthy sign-in form to register and most of the good
user names are already taken as The Globe has millions of users. But if you are
looking for a more sophisticated chat site, this might be great for you!

The Park
|
www.the-park.com
|
You have to log in to use this
site, but the process is simple and easy to find. The rooms however can have a
cluttered look so this site may not be suited to beginners. Similar format to The
Globe chat. The Park boasts thousands of daily visitors and you are sure to find
someone you'll be happy to chat with...

Talk City
|
www.talkcity.com
|
This site is similar to The Park
and The Globe. It requires you to first become a member and you must sign in before
chat - but there are a selection of different chat rooms grouped into categories like
people, business, computing, entertainment and teen. Talk City also provides free
homepages to members, has a personals section and regularly sets up THEME chat nights -
although you'll have to work out the relevent time difference as all chats are in American
Eastern Standard Time.....

WBS Chat
|
www.wbs.net
|
This site is definitely NOT for
beginners - but it is worth the time and effort to learn the ins and outs of the chat
system WBS uses. There are hundreds of chat rooms on this site, although many are
regularly unused or have very low user levels. You have the ability to check the
number of people and who's in each room before you join.....and you can even use a
picture of yourself (or a picture of anything at all!) to identify your chat messages!
Messages are submited by pressing the 'enter' key and will scroll up the
screen....no reloading necessary! It will take beginners time to work out how to
upload your pictures, to change your chat preferences and which chat rooms are best (The
Flirt Room is always good!) but the other chatters will be happy to help you if you have
any questions. This site requires a sign-up form to be filled out and many of the
best user names are already taken....so BE CREATIVE!
Oh.....and you can have free email or a free homepage if you are a member.....

Yahoo! Chat
|
chat.yahoo.com
|
| This chat site uses java applet to
scroll chat up the screen as you type it in. The user interface is a little
complicated but will be appreciated by experienced users due to its versatility. You
can change the size, colour and tense of your messages by choosing different buttons and
even mark yourself as 'away' or 'busy' if necessary. There are many different chat
rooms, you must sign in upon entry...but as this is a popular chat site you have a good
chance of meeting some very interesting people. |
