The most frequently used and most popular of all virtual communities are chatrooms. These locations on the net give people a chance to communicate with each other through city, state, and country boundaries. There is no limit to how far away another chatter may be from yourself.
Chatrooms come in many different varieties.
Some can be solely text-based, which allow for faster interactions. Others are more graphically oriented. In these rooms you can post pictures alongside your text. In some rooms you are represented by a graphical image, an avatar. There are chatrooms available for all types of people.
