chat2 Archaic or dialect a catkin, esp a willow catkin chat (chat, messaging)Any system that allows any number oflogged-in users to have a typed, real-time, on-lineconversation via a network.
The medium of chat is descended from talk, but the terms(and the media) have been distinct since at least the early1990s. talk is prototypically for a small number of people,generally with no provision for channels. In chatsystems, however, there are many channels in which anynumber of people can talk; and users may send private(one-to-one) messages.
Some early chat systems (in use 1998) include IRC, ICQ andPalace. More recent alternatives include MSN Messengerand Google Talk.
Chat systems have given rise to a distinctive style combiningthe immediacy of talking with all the precision (andverbosity) that written language entails. It is difficult tocommunicate inflection, though conventions have arisen to helpwith this.
The conventions of chat systems include special items ofjargon, generally abbreviations meant to save typing, whichare not used orally. E.g. BCNU, BBL, BTW, CUL,FWIW, FYA, FYI, IMHO, OT, OTT, TNX, WRT,WTF, WTH, , , BBL, HHOK, NHOH, ROTFL,AFK, b4, TTFN, TTYL, OIC, re.
Much of the chat style is identical to (and probably derivedfrom) Morse code jargon used by ham-radio amateurs since the1920s, and there is, not surprisingly, some overlap with TDDjargon. Most of the jargon was in use in talk systems.Many of these expressions are also common in Usenet newsand electronic mail and some have seeped into popularculture, as with emoticons.
The MUD community uses a mixture of emoticons, a few ofthe more natural of the old-style talk mode abbreviations,and some of the "social" list above. In general, though,MUDders express a preference for typing things out in fullrather than using abbreviations; this may be due to therelative youth of the MUD cultures, which tend to include manytouch typists. Abbreviations specific to MUDs include:FOAD, ppl (people), THX (thanks), UOK? (are you OK?).
Some BIFFisms (notably the variant spelling "d00d") andaspects of ASCIIbonics appear to be passing into wider useamong some subgroups of MUDders and are already pandemic onchat systems in general.

Suck article "Screaming in a Vacuum".chatA real-time communication via keyboard between two or more users on a local network (LAN) or over the Internet. Non-verbal, a computer chat is like sending text messages back and forth. Either characters are transmitted after each key is pressed, or all the text is sent when the user presses Enter. The term chat became so pervasive in the computing world that a two-way audio communication is sometimes called a "voice chat," and video calling is often called "video chat."
Live Chat for Support
Live text chat is a common website support system, allowing someone to be assisted by a company representative, who typically handles more than one site visitor at a time. Called "live chat," "live help," "live person" or "live support software."
Chat vs. Instant Messaging (IM) vs. Texting (SMS)
Although all three of these services deal with sending and receiving text, chat and IM sessions are on the computer, while texting is done on cellphones. Chat sessions can be initiated by users merely browsing a website to interact with a sales or service rep at that very moment, whereas instant messaging (IM) requires installing an IM program, opening an account and sending invitations to recipients. See instant messaging and text messaging.
Chatting and Texting
Since chat is an English word, if someone refers to "chatting and texting" on a cellphone, it means real chatting (voice calling) and sending text messages. See chat room, video chat and IRC.
