Twitter is now about so much more than just 140 characters of text. Regular updates have given us long Tweets, images, video, advanced search, interactivity and opportunities to interact with almost every part of our lives. We celebrate how much we love Twitter, we are going to show you how to create chat rooms in Twitter, we’ll also list some Twitter widgets that allow you create chats in your blog sidebar by just setting up some hashtags.

A chat room is an informal place to have one on one, or group chats in real time. When a conversation really gets going, a timeline full of “@” messages soon becomes messy, which is where a chat room comes in.

Used carefully, chat rooms give you more opportunities to interact than ever before. Used not so carefully and it’s entirely possible to stumble on something that could change you forever!

So, in our guide on how to create chat rooms in Twitter, we are going to list the top apps to make them happen.

List of Twitter Chat Widgets

Tinychat

Tinychat has grown rapidly since its modest beginnings to be able to count it’s users in the hundreds of thousands. To create a chat room in Twitter, simply click on the Create Room button and send the URL through Twitter to the people you want to invite. You can authenticate through Twitter or Facebook too.

TweetChat

TweetChat is a simple way to create chat rooms in Twitter. It also allows you to monitor topics and automatically direct you to a TweetChat room if one exists. As the conversation in Twitter expands, each Tweet is appended with a URL that auto updates.

It’s a neat little app that lets you focus tightly on your chosen subjects and authenticates through Twitter.

Savor Chat

Savor Chat is an oddly-named way to create chat rooms in Twitter. The main different with this app is that it allows you to combine Twitter and Facebook, bringing the two closer together.

Sign in with either your Twitter or Facebook account and you can quickly create a chat room, invite participants using Direct Messages and even schedule rooms. It’s a powerful app that has far reaching uses above and beyond simply chatting.

Chitty Chat

Chitty Chat is a simple way to create chat rooms in Twitter that makes it easier than ever to combine Twitter and a chat room. Add @chity_chat to any Tweet and it appends a URL to that Tweet. Click on the URL to be transported to a chat room.

It’s simple, but very effective and a great way to integrate Twitter and a chat room.
