Chat Avenue

Outlasting mega chat hubs like AOL and Yahoo!, Chat-Avenue’s (roughly) 4,000 concurrent chatters makes it the web’s largest chat site. Chat Ave has come a long way from its origins in 1999. Today they are in the process of creating their own chat software as they transition away from the use of 123FlashChat. For now, visitors to Chat-Avenue have the choice to use Flash Chat or another php based chat. Keep an eye on Chat-Avenue over the next few months for the release, which promises to be both mobile friendly and webcam enabled.

Wire Club

WireClub is a truly wonderful online community. Yes, they require you to register in order to enter their chat rooms but it is a chat experience like no other. Their chat software seamlessly integrates features in a natural and intuitive way. Clicking on a username makes their profile fly out with quick access to their picture, badges won and options to chat, message, friend, block or report. They also have a virtual credit system you can use to give gifts, badges and other fun things.

PalTalk / CamFrog

CamFrog & PalTalk are owned by the same company and both function in rather similar ways. They both require you to download their software and register for free. Once connected the default option is to live stream your webcam which means most chatters have webcams you can view. CamFrog and PalTalk limit the number of cams your can view at once or the length of time you can watch unless you become a paying member. Memberships range from $4 to $40 per month and offer various levels of benefit.

UK Chat

UKChat is obviously UK based, but there are a fair number of chatters from other English speaking countries such as the United States and Canada. UKChat runs latest version of Stelivo chat which means it is mobile friendly and webcam enabled. Another feature of UKChat which shouldn’t go unnoticed is their seamless integration of chatter profiles with their forum. Room titles vary from Lobby, Cafe and Trivia to more specific rooms based on location like Northern Ireland and Wales. Overall, UKChat is a great chat site.
