How to Make a MySpace IM Chat Room
MySpace is a popular social networking site that allows you to connect with friends and family on the Internet. MySpace's built-in instant messaging (IM) feature lets you chat in real time with anyone who's online. A personal chat room on your MySpace page enables you to communicate with multiple friends at one time and in one place.

Tips & Warnings
If you'd rather the chat box appear on your profile rather than in your Status Feed Stream, simply copy the "Embed Code" information given to you and paste it into the area of your profile where you'd like it to appear, using the "Edit Profile" option on your MySpace page.
