What Is Selective Chat

Since the old days of IRC till our days the expression “Hi, asl plz?” is the must have opening for every chatting session between two strangers. Furthermore, if you are a male you won’t accept less than something like “25 F …”

Due to the lack of enough information any discussion was very slow to start, moreover it is rarely scoped into a certain topic or subject. It is true that most of the chatters are males seeking females. This is what the statistics reveal, and can’t be denied. However any discussion would be far more interesting and fruitful if the two parties have minimum information regarding each other and be centered on a specific topic that is of common interest.

It is not unusual to meet someone who is seeking to talk with another having a certain intellectual background and education level or having experience in a very specific domain. There are thousands of people who are seeking information and are not sure where to find them and how to utilize them. Obviously it can be helpful if they can meet someone online who can help them in real time manner. No doubt this type of information exchange and collaboration increases the richness of the discussion and avoid wasting time on lengthy introductions that ends most of the time in frustration.

The importance of the selective chat as opposed to the random chat lays in the fact that the latter is full of bad surprises and annoyances, while the former is based on a careful selection of the peer in order to open a discussion with him or her. This gives a huge benefit for both parties because they can capitalize on their discussion to make new ones and maybe evolve their cyber relation to a real life one.

In this perspective www.simpleconnexion.com is trying to offer something of value to its users and by making it intuitive and friendly to use and avoiding the hassle of a long and boring registration process and profile management. Check about us for more info.

Selective Chat vs Random Chat

Random chat is a new trend for chatting. It started in mid 2009 with Omegle and continued in 2010 with Chatroulette. Although it is popular, there are some severe problems concerning these services.

These issues were detailed in a previous blog “Random Chat Review” and in short they are: a person can’t easily chat because users are always hitting next button, there are lots of perversions and people abusing the service by showing sexual acts, most of the time guys are looking for girls who are rarely found.

Although the idea is appealing, however these services are not delivering real value. What is meant by real value is to be able to have a nice chat with interesting people with whom some would share a minimum of common stuff.

Selective Chat might be the solution! This is fairly a new term that does not appear a lot on Google Search or Google Trends. It consists of finding the right person to chat with. A person who displays a minimum profile that allows others to find him or her.

As opposed to social networking services like Facebook or others the aim of a “Selective Chat” is to bring together people who want to chat and express a preference for a specific topic. While on social networking people share videos, images and activities with contacts and friends; they are reluctant to accept people they don’t know. Besides they are not necessarily online at the same time and might not be interested in chatting at all.

Conversely in “Selective Chat” people go there in order to find someone to chat with. However to avoid lengthy introduction and discovery of interests of the other person, “Selective Chat” gives people the option to build a mini profile in which they can tell about themselves, their interests, their personal website or YouTube.

Because each person might have his/her own set of preferences and interests it will be easier to find others who share the those interests, thus resulting in a nice constructive chat that deliver value to the chatters and might pave the way for some more evolved types of relations.

This concept is being implemented by http://www.simpleconnexion.com/ in which this service is trying to offer chatters an appropriate context for people to meet each other and discuss about common topics in real time.
