What is a chat site?

A chat site is a website that allows you to have a conversation with other people via your computer.

Instead of speaking you type what you want to say on your keyboard and read people's responses on your screen.

There may be just one or several 'chat rooms' on a chat site for you to have conversations on different topics.

Unlike a message board‚ forum or an e-mail a chat room runs in real time like a telephone conversation.

Lots of people can be in a chat room at the same time. This can be a fun way to meet and talk to people online and become part of a chat community.
