A chat room is a part of a website where you can interact with users in a group by means of posting messages in a central location. It's different from instant messaging in that a chat room is public while an instant message is private. There are many websites that were created solely for the purpose of chatting, while other websites have chat rooms within them (for example, AOL.com). Some chat rooms give you immediate access, but others require you to sign up and create a screen name. One such site is wireclub.com.
