What is chat? How do I set up and use chat?

Chat (from the English to chat [tʃæt] 'chatting', 'talking'; also online chat) refers to electronic communication 
by means of written text in real time, usually via the Internet. The first form of online chat was offered by 
Compuserve in 1980 in the form of the "CB simulator". The Usenet also had chat functions. Within a chat, 
synchronous and asynchronous communication is possible simultaneously.
