I'd say lesser known chat-rooms about something that you are interested in. Instead of chat rooms you may want to try message based boards. Also some of the smaller communities on the web, stay away from the larger ones. Invite only communities are good too. Mostly I'd say look for specific interest based communities. Yahoo, and many other sites, have user-run groups you can join.\n\nI used to love chat-rooms years ago before they became to popular. Now I normally visit only to a few specific communities for the messaging boards. A lot of time I get to know people on there then start chats with them through IM's/chat-rooms. \n\nThe communities I'm in are things life amateur writing, fantasy/sci-fi books, role-playing, programming, everquest 2, a couple MUD's, etc.\n\nI've made tons of good friends that I've kept in touch with for years, several for as long as 8-12 years. \n\nFission

I am online currently. If you need someone to talk to, make you laugh or just annoy, go ahead and IM me. I can be reached through Yahoo Instant Messenger under this same name or the one listed on my profile. If you don't wanna message me, go ahead and stay bored. No problem. Your loss. ;-)

To chat with other people online you can either visit a Chat Room where you can log in to a room of other people and chat amongst the room.\nhttp://chat.yahoo.com/\n\nIf you have other friends already then you can install an Instant Messanger system such as Yahoo! Messenger:\nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com/

1000's of chat room online covering virtually every area of discussion. \n\nYou can talk about God to sex to politics and there are rooms to simply chat about whatever you wish!\n\nYahoo Chat is certainly a good place to start..!

Maybe you should try the personal ads, or maybe you'd have luck in a (local) chat room. Or, go out and socialize!!\n\nGood luck!

Seek out Yahoo, MSN , IRC messengers and chatrooms and since there are numerous users online you will have a good opportunity to seek out a chat friend with ur specific interests. But ofcourse this may take some time since you may have to distinguish the chaff from the grain in the pest infested chat rooms. Happy chatting

It is hard because of the format. Try the chat room and yahoo! groups to find someone to talk to.

lola, honey, sites??  My first question to you is "Why internet websites?"  Real friends that you can go shopping with or go to the movies with, in my humble opinion, are much preferable to online friends. \n\nYou go about finding good online friends much the same way as you would finding real world friends.  Think about the activities/hobbies that you like to do and join groups associated with those hobbies.    \n\nYahoo Groups is an excellent example.\n\nYahoo, also, has many health related groups if you have health related issues and would like to find friends for support.  \n\nThere is also Internet Relay Chat that can be downloaded and will give you access to millions of internet chat rooms. \n\nAlways, any where you go, be very careful about the online friends you choose.  The Internet allows people to be anyone they choose.  Deception is prevailent.  Be careful!!

You can always look up "parachat" which will create a chat room for you for free. All you have to do and insert it onto a webpage.

I suppose you could start asking people you are interested in if you can email them or try a chat room with your interests, friends are easy to find, true friendship takes time.
