By definition, social networking sites are the websites which provide the places for people interacting with others; and interaction seems to be meaningless without communication. Therefore, chat function plays a very important role on every social networking site. Clearly understanding the demand, we have developed Social Chat to provide all users a new way to communicate with their friends in real-time.
Addition to the original idea of chatting, Social Chat also lets users enhancing their conversations by sharing photos, links; and especially emoting to others with numerous emoticons. With a full set of smileys, there is always a right one for every mood!
Furthermore, from the point of view of avoiding conflict, it is always better to have the Message History feature which is already included in Social Chat to enable users to access their message history and retrieve the past conversations. And from the moderator perspective, Social Chat provides admins the ability to define Word Filter / Word Ban, which will give a hand in helping your community become healthier.
