10. Chat Rooms Instant messaging
Chat Rooms are websites or part of websites that provide an area for communities with common interests to chat in real time. Many  Many
Instant Messaging IM is a way of communicating with another individual in real time across the internet using text-based not voice communication. One  One
Chat rooms These are like communal versions of IM and can be a way to discuss a topic of interest or just keep in touch. They allow users to communicate with each other in real time (live), as opposed to the delayed time you get with . They are occasionally policed by “chat moderators” but often the moderation is very limited. A user enters a chat room, types a message into the computer, and sends it. This message is instantly displayed on the screens of the other users in the chat room. You never know who is going to be reading your messages or responding to them.
During a Chat Room conversation one member may suggest having an IM. Thus changing to a one to one conversation with the related eSafety concerns
Instant Messaging - you may have an IM system in your place of work!
IM is a way of communicating with others and typing real-time conversations in text. It is less formal than a letter or and can be a good way for easy collaboration. It is cheaper than long distance phone calls
IM tends to be one to one with messages being exchanged in a private "chat room." Young people are very good at managing more than one message at a time and having several one to one conversations.
The IM system the alerts you whenever someone on your private list is online. Many online services provide IM services i.e. Yahoo and MSM. You can setup the IM defaults to keep a record of the discussions
Young people will often 'swap friends' through IM, and therefore can be chatting to strangers who they feel they trust because a ‘friend’ of a ‘friend’ knows them. IM is a very intimate form of communication - more so than a chat room with its many users, and therefore child abusers will often use this as a means to extract personal information from a young person.
