Rebirth Chat.Ru

In the 1990s, Chat.Ru was one of the most popular and most visited sites in runet. But at some point it stopped developing, and in recent years it has hardly been visited.

After almost ten years of oblivion, everything suddenly changed. From the previous site there was only a link on the main page. Chat.Ru made the first step to returning the status of the most popular service for communication in RuNet.

Yes, it's still a chat, but a new generation chat. Life does not stand still, and in ten years technology has gone far ahead. The current Chat.Ru is based on XMPP (aka Jabber), which everyone probably heard about.

Don't like web chat? Use any XMPP client: Pidgin, Miranda, QIP Infinum ... By registering on Chat.Ru, you will receive a corresponding Jabber-identifier and will be able not only to participate in discussions at Chat.Ru itself, but also correspond with your friends who use Google Talk, LJ Talk or another similar service. On the other hand, you can chat on Chat.Ru, using an existing identifier - for example, in the same LiveJournal.

The very concept of the chat has changed. If earlier chat was a separate page of a separate site, then now you can discuss any page without leaving it. For example, let's discuss this page ! Of course, you will say that there are comments here, and so on, but after all, comments are not at all the same as live, real-time communication. In addition, not all sites the ability to leave reviews made really convenient. And what if you want to discuss some kind of page on which commenting is not provided at all? Then the new Chat.Ru comes to the rescue.

To discuss any page on the network, just type “chat.ru/” in front of its address, and a chat will appear on the page, in which everyone who wished to take part in the conversation will be located. You will be able to communicate with people who visit the same sites as you, and perhaps even with the administrators or owners of these sites. In addition, send a link to a friend or, for example, publish it in your blog to attract new people to the discussion!

This is just the beginning. Chat.Ru promises a lot more interesting. But that's another story.
