Note in the this coffee lounge Zara is 'LemonCakes' and it is a public chat room:

A way to talk to people straight away is to get a chat box - Xat - offer the best free chat boxes in my opinion, as they don't bug you to upgrade all the time, and it has all the features you need. Anyone can just type in the box and say hello - or you can set it up for members only chats.

For Yuwie and most social networks I reccommend putting it on your profile page / in your shout box.

 You can add your Yuwie profile or referral url in the little 'home' icon next to your name by clicking on your assigned name after your first post - i.e click your name in the right side box and you can change your photo, name and add a web url.

 You have a choice of plugging in a ready made box - like mine - or creating your own -

My chatroom for example is for anyone to chat about anything, bearing in mind I see it as a coffee house or cafe and that's my theme (or niche)  You simply chat about stuff you might chat about over a coffee, on a lunch break or out shopping.

I'm like the cafe owner and there is a link to my contact us page - so if you ever wanted to see a real coffee menu and order some coffee on-line - you have the added bonus of being connected to a real on-line coffee shop owner that can recommend a range of Healthy Coffee products.

If your niche was gardening - you might want to create your own gardening themed chatroom with a tree in the background (or similar) and chat about gardening related things.

So this chat room is mainly for coffee talk but, also cafe talk :-) - If you install this chat room on several networks it will eventually fill up like a cafe would, it see a quick way to connect to others surfing the web - add a chatbox to your home page and every time you log on-line everyone knows you are avaliable to chat  - you just copy and paste the code anywhere that allows flash.
