Teens + TinyChat = Online video hangout

Tiny_chat_image

What happens in TinyChat can stay on TinyChat or be shared with others....it's really up to the teenagers using the service.

The service allows teens to create public and private rooms. In private rooms they control who to invite, who has the right to braodcast video and who is relegated to 'creeping' the chat room.

And when I say chat room, it's more like a teen hangout in the living room, or the basement or the local ice cream shop. No one's really talking about their day here. They are just talking about stuff the way teenagers have always talked about stuff and parents have disappovingly wondered where they get all this stuff from.
