Chatrooms, an Online Community

December 20, 2007

Have you ever wondered why online chat is very famous in the Philippines? Since the Internet was introduced in the Philippines way back 1997, online chat rooms became an ordinary meeting place for a person’s social needs. Both young Men and Women are looking for their soul mates, friends (both old and new) and even just some one to talk to. Other persons even utilize these chat rooms to spread viruses which may destroy other computers. Some chat rooms even promote lesbian and gay affairs over the internet.

Many concerned individuals have tried to somehow control the online community particularly chat rooms, and prevent foul languages, vulgar words hate and quarrels between chatters. I believe no one can ever control the internet. It has also been used as an outlet for prostitution and other nasty stuff.

However, if you are single and is looking for a partner, a friend, or even a wife, a chat room is the place to be. Some chat rooms cater video chat for an added zest in one’s online experience. Person’s whose families are in another country benefits this the most. Chatting helps ease the loneliness and provide excellent communication overseas and is much cheaper compared to calling by phone.

Indeed, good and bad stuff comes out from great things. People must be aware of internet ethics in order to build a good online community.
