TinyChat - A Web Based Video Chat Room

If you're lonely and feel like want to video chat with someone, you can try this out TinyChat software. The good thing about this TinyChat is you do not need to install any software into your PC. It is all web based application. I love web based application!

Unlike IMVU, you're dealing with all the real person not "Avatar". :) I tried this software last night when someone shared that in Facebook. So this is what you can do to kick start the fun:

(1) Go into this website, www.tinychat.com. You will see this page:

 

(2) What I like is, it shows the current real time snapshot of the person in each chat room. You can do the following:

• Click on "An Instant Chat Room". This will create a room for you and you will be the moderator. For beginner, you do probably don't want to try that now.

• Click on any faces that you like and it will bring you to them. :) You will then can chat with him/her. :) This seems more fun!

(3) It prompts you to enter your user name as follow. If you would like to be anoymous, I will suggest you just to put a nick name and click "Go". Otherwise, you can login using your Facebook or Twitter account.

(4) When you're in the video chat room, you can see bunch of broadcasting video streaming. These are the things that you can do:

• "Hide video" for those person that you don't enjoy to see. :D This is especially useful if you find the video streaming is lagging badly.

• Click "Start Broadcasting". You can choose either to broadcast your voice or your camera + your voice. When you do that, everyone sees your face and hear your voice!

• Chat in the public or chat using private message to person that you would like to talk to. However, people usually ignore the private message.

At first, I thought those person are not real or probably is a video chat bot. So I asked them to raise their hands and do some actions for example to confirm they're real. Yes, in fact they're all real. So there is no cheating here.

People there somehow doesn't talk much but they like to video broadcast themselves and chat using the keyboard. Perhaps they're shy? Anyway, hope you enjoy this! Have fun!

Best Free 3D Chat Room - IMVU

I used to play mIRC (i.e. internet relay chat) and I guess now somehow is no longer popular anymore and most importantly it is no longer available for free. No wonder I have never heard of people talk about it anymore. Perhaps I'm from just an outdated person from older generation. It was in fact similar to "Facebook" today and used to be very well known to almost everyone.

So I tried to search around the web and looked for best chat room. In past couple of months, I actually found one which I think so far is the best chat room among couple of chat rooms I had tried. This software is called IMVU. I'm not sure exactly what it stands for but people say it stands for "Instant Messaging Virtual Universal"?


Steps to Install IMVU

1. Go to IMVU
2. Click "Start Now"
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once you have installed the software, you can now login to IMVU and you will see the following screen:

I think I do not need to explain every single options because most of them are self-explanatory. This is why I think this software is so successful - very user friendly. I'm really impressed by the 3D effect in this software too. It is really awesome. Check it out yourself:







I will say IMVU is the so far the most successful software to emulate the world. It is the best virtual world software that I've ever seen. It is almost very closed to the actual real world. Therefore, I don't surprise if people are getting addicted to it and prefer this virtual world rather than the real world.

There are few "Advanced Features" that you need to "PAY" for it to enable it. Well, I personally don't think that you need to go to that extend but it is really up to you. Have fun with it!
