A search of the term “live chats”, in google, brings up 12 chat rooms on the first page of choices alone. These rooms includes rooms related to age. There were rooms about marital status. There were rooms about faith and about sex. These didn’t include the giants like Paltalk and AOL.
Why Live Chats?
Common Interests
People discuss everything from personal faith to sports in chat rooms. There are rooms for people who are like minded. These can create conversations on the subtleties of the topics. Who is the best quarter-back over the last 20 years? What does a tithe actually mean. Should we use sugar or a sugar substitute. What is the best time to fish for catfish? These are not trivial opinions among people who share a common interest.
Relationships
More and more live chats are growing around developing relationships. People from all over the world can get to know each other despite being separated by thousands of miles. Some of these rooms are explicit. Some replace what used to be called “pen pals.” There are chat rooms on relationships based on employment, faith, local and interests.
USA Today reported in June, 2013 that, at that time, more than 1/3 of marriages were a result of online relationships. This percentage has risen with the proliferation of online chatting and dating sites.
Education
Many educational institutions provide chat rooms for students for the exchange of information about classes and for virtual study groups.
AcademicInfo.net “Online Courses, Certificates, Classes in Career & Vocational Training” lists the most popular vocational courses offered.
Every academic course and program imaginable is now offered online. Business development courses are popular as a means of working at home. Most of these are connected to chat in some way.
Purchasing
A website about online learning solutions, Bevyup.com, sites the article “Social Media is the Least Popular Channel for Customer Service” from Marketing Land, January 2015. “After phone and email, live chat is the most popular channel for consumers who want to ask a question—10.5 times more popular than social media.“
Consumers are exchanging information about products and services and the companies that deliver them.
“Word of Mouth” is still an important form of advertising. Rather than neighbors talking over the fence or at the post office, thousands of people share their views on products across city, state, country and the world in live chat.
