Online chat rooms are ideal for quick questions and impromptu conversations—but many business people just don’t want the hassle of creating a chat account and identity, or installing a chat client that can at best be a distraction and at worst a memory hog that causes system problems.
Enter TinyChat
The completely browser-based application lets you open a chat room, and email its url to as many people as you’d like to join your conversation. No usernames, no accounts, no need to disclose any personal information at all—just a place to communicate on the fly. When you’re done, close the browser and the chat room disappears along with your conversation.
Of course, if you’re a social networking butterfly you can link TinyChat to your Twitter account, and invite people from your Facebook or MySpace world to join your chat, or even embed it in your blog.
So, even if you’re sure full-blown chat isn’t for you, give TinyChat a try!
