Introduction

• Chat application definition
• Online chat is a generic term for what are now
  mostly known as instant messaging
  applications-computer programs that enable
  two-way typing to connect users to each other.
• Communication types
• Text-to-text (classical)
• VoIP(Voice over Internet protocol) A technique
  using hardware and software that enables people
  to use the Internet as the transmission medium
  for telephone calls by sending voice data in
  packets using IP rather than by traditional
