Even though we live in an age of instant Qik streams, video chats on Skype, and micro-blogging on Twitter, sometimes all you need is a simple chatroom for real-time text chats. TinyChat solves this problem by creating simple, disposable chatrooms. Tinychats works exactly as advertised. It's a disposable no-frills chatroom, with a deliberately limited feature set. There are no accounts to sign up for and whenever you open up a new room, TinyChat will simply create a new URL for you.

While you don't have to create an account on TinyChat, you can opt to alert your Twitter followers when you open a new chatroom. It is important to note that you can't turn this message off - if you sign in with your Twitter account, that message will go out to all your followers!

Besides the basic chat function, TinyChat also features the ability add a badge with your chatroom status to your blog or social networking profile. You can also save a copy of your chat log by saving it as a text file, or by forwarding it to you email account.
