Wocs Uk Chat Blog - Chat Room News Free

Hi guys

I would like to commend some of the regs for chatting so much in the main room, there is one thing I do need to point out though, try not to ignore the new people.

Many of the people who come in World of Chat are new to chat rooms so are beginners, and find it quite hard to talk, so if you can talk to them, ask them their asl, find how how they found woc, have they tryed using chat rooms before etc.

If you regs want to chat among yourselfs and the room starts filling up, if your not going to talk to the new people then please move to the lounge.

We need to keep as many new people as we can in the room, if we dont we wont have a room !

If we kept every new person that came here we would be packed out

For a chat room there is an awful of people that enter the chat room that don’t actually say anything, I find this most confusing, why enter the chat room in the first place, if you don’t actually want to talk.

It would be helpful if you could contribute when you enter the chat room, it really spoils the experience if people are logging in and out, or logging in and then going idle.

Its not a waiting room or a room for you to check if your friends are online, so please don’t treat woc this !

Hi guys

I just thought I would post once more, to say that chat rooms stalking is not going to be tollerated.

If people login to the room and log straight out consistantly, this is considered stalking, it doesnt take any effort to speak for a few mins.

I have wanted a few people about this, these people have choosen to ignore me, so they will be banned, simple as that.

These kind of people spoil it for everyone, picking and choosing the rules to suit themselves, we are trying to make a safe chat room.

Hi guys

Many people that Chat on the net, use Msn messenger, although yahoo messenger is more popular belive it or not, Msn messenger is very popular to people who chat on the net.

Msn Live Changeover

Looks like msn have finally made everyone move onto msn messenger live, there have been reports that people cannot any longer sign in with the older versions, having to download Msn Live.

This is clearly unfair, as many people dont like Msn Messenger Live, its a shame Msn didnt think to include a few different looks into their new messenger, this would have softened the changes, as many people dont like the layout or the colours.

Anyhow chat fans it wont be changed back, so looks like if you want to chat on Msn your going to have to use msn Live.

If you have any opinions on Msn Live please post a comment.

Hi there

Firstly I would like to point out that Facebook is not a Chat room lol, some people dont seem to realise this, also facebook has no chat rooms incorporated into it and they have no plans to !

Facebook is a community site, its a very good site, I do however have problems with it, there are serious security issues, with the biggest crime at the moment being identity theft, then Facebook is going to be heaven for these people, as its possible to find out many details about the people on there.

I was listening to the radio recently apparently Facebook is costing Uk employers millions of pounds as all their workers are logging onto Facebook instead of doing their work lol.

So I think its just a matter of time before employers start blocking this site, which might see a decrease in Facebooks popularity.

World of chat also has a group on Facebook, I have created this to try to get people to visit our chat rooms, so if you are on there please join our group.

Hi there Guys

Here are a few shorthanded phrases i use in this

ISP - Internet service provider - the people you get your internet from, blueyonder for example
IE - Internet Explorer - The most popluar browser used as its provided with Windows

Do any of you know what browser you use to get onto world of chat ?

Im guessing thats a no lol, well you should know as its important, you might be thinking what is a browser, well a browser is a bit of software that allows you to interact with internet sources over the net, for example to look at webpages, download files etc.

Why is this important ?

It is important for many reasons, the first of all compatablilty, some browsers without being blunt are crap, and will cause you endless problems and heartache you can well do without.

How do I know what im using ?

If you open a webpage on your pc, then goto the help menu right at the top of your browser screen and then go down to about, it should tell you what browser you are using.

As a suggestion I would stick to Internet Explorer 6, IE7 isnt very good at the moment, I also use Firefox too as a backup if I have any problems with IE. If you dont have any problems with IE7 then I would stick to it, but bear in mind it isnt faultless.

You can find the IE button by just clicking onto the blue E icon, confusion can somtimes start when your internet provider start putting links on your desktop, try to avoid using these they will only confuse you.

Browser Branding

Now this is where it gets confusing, when you install software from your ISP you will notice that right across the top of your browser window, it will say Internet explorer provided by blueyonder, for example this is just browser branding and not somthing you need to worry about.

Watch out for Isp Browsers

Now there is somthing you need to look out for, somtimes when you install software you get from your isp, they sometimes contain their own browser, now these browsers are to be avoided like the plauge, as they are not good, for example BT have their own browser Yahoo, Tiscali and of course AOL.

It will have installed itself when you installed the software you got from your isp, and will just use it as default without even asking you, when you goto help and about from your browser menu, it will say somthing like Yahoo Explorer, or AOL browser.

Dont use them, make sure your using your internet explorer or if you have Firefox, use Firefox.

Cam Chat rooms

As chat rooms have evolved and with the advent of new technology, there are now chat rooms that let you talk over cam.

What Is a Cam Chat Room

So some of you might be wondering what a cam chat room is, well a cam chat room isn’t dissimilar to any normal chat room, except it has a cam chat plug in.

When you are in a chat room the names of the people chatting in the room is displayed down the right hand side, with a space for chat on the main chat page, in a cam chat room this is much the same, except for a few little differences, normally at the side of someone’s name there is a little icon, this usually signifies if the person has a cam, when you click on this icon, it usually gives you access to their cam, then you should be able to see the image that is taken via their cam.

Cam chat rooms were expected to take the chat room community by storm, unfortunately this hasn’t happened for quite a few reasons, mainly because of abuse, and unfortunately most of the cams sites seem to attract the wrong kind of people, who just want to show their bits on cam.

I believe cam chat rooms will always be around, unfortunately with peoples fears on the internet I don’t believe many people are comfortable using them

Hi guys

I’m sure a few of you have heard the word Skype mentioned in the chat room at some point, im sure some of you are wondering exactly what Skype is.

Skype is a program that you download, not dissimilar to msn messenger, but it primarily allows you to make free phone calls over the internet.

Skype does allow you to do many other things as well, for example, instant messaging, file transfers, voice and video conferencing. Both of you need to have Skype installed just like with msn messenger to get these features to work.

Skype and mobile phones

With the advance of mobile technology, there are now versions of Skype you can install onto some mobiles, which is really starting to worry the mobile companies, as this in theory would enable you to make free or cheaper calls from your mobile, if you make these calls using Skype, so it should be interesting to see how these companies react.
