ICQ is a revolutionary,
user-friendly Internet tool that informs you who's on-line at any time
and enables you to contact them at will.
When somebody
is on your list and they are on their computer at the same time as you,
the system tells you, and you can message, go into formal chat, exchange
files, voice message each other.....it is fantastic! And best
of all, it is completely free!

This is the
first big chat room I ever went to regularly, and it is quite impressive.
It has gone through some pretty big changes since I first went there, and
I hardly go there anymore...it is BIG. Sometimes I remember
there being over 100 people in a room. Because of the setup,
it works good, and looks pretty good. It is free to join, and
new chatters will be impressed.
ThirtySomething
is the place I probably most regularly go to now. I go to a
few at the moment but it is like home for me. A few rooms with
limits on numbers....a bit more intimate than big places. And
the fact that I know so many from there helps too. The link
this goes to, is the opening page and has a link to Infinity Chat too,
a place for younger people (under 20) which is pretty similar and cool
also...
Very new site
at the time of writing. I think it is only just a month old.
It is similar in setup to 30s, but may appeal to some more...not a large
base of users as of yet, so if you have a group of online friends looking
for a place to base yourselves, this could be a good home.
Free membership with choice of handle, IP identification, and even an icon
if you like can be especially yours as your default. A good
site....will be better as more people hear about it.
Stormchat is
yet another similar format to the two above. And as with the
two above, you may well find other chatters from each in each different
one. The main attraction for me to this place is that it is
the place my beautiful §trawberry is often found hanging out at.
But there are also some really nice people there too. Another
good one to take a gawk at....
This is the
home of Chat Central, a fairly established chat site. It has
undergone a recent facelift, and will be sporting lots of new features
when they get it unveiled in late December. There will be competitions
aplenty with the opening period, so get along and have some fun....you
never know, it could be a place you'll wanna keep coming back to!
I'm excited.....
This is a simple
and cute little site....a fair bit off colour too. it is a
scrolling chat, so as people finish their messages they scroll up the screen.
For that reason, if you do not touch-type, or cannot type fast, you could
miss something. Worth checking out, all the same....it is a
fun chat site!
Finally, Chatropolis
chat is another BIG site. I have not looked around this site
in-depth, as the reason someone told me about it was because they had good
adult chat rooms, and some where chatters could post pics as well.....it
is pretty good if that is what you are into. but they really
do have a massive amount of rooms with a huge number of different themes
to them. Again, if you do not want intimacy, and want no strings
attached to your chat friends, this is a good place to go....
Ok....almost
forgot about this one. If you have a soundcard, and speakers,
and the capabilities to attach a microphone to your computer, BuddyPhone
is for you!!! Once downloaded, you can talk to other people
who have buddyphone just like on the telephone, and even though there can
be delays between speech, it is really great value, because it is free.
And this can even work in conjunction with icq as well....
Go for it, because you won't regret it....
