One of the new "hot spots" for chatters is Buzzen Communications. Many refugees who became "homeless" after MSN closed it's chat rooms have found a haven there, with a unique twist. A good number of the chat rooms also support Tribal FM, an internet radio station with DJ's from all over the globe. So, in addition to chatting in your favorite room, you also have the bonus of listening to and requesting your favorite tunes, with the DJ's actively participating in chat and integrating it with their internet radio. Quite a combination!

You can find a chat room open in Buzzen usually 24/7, and Tribal FM also broadcasts 24/7. In addition, there is a chat room dedicated to Tribal FM, located in the entertainment section. You can always find a few of the DJ's hanging out there, discussing all kinds of topics in addition to their obvious favorite, music. An impressive set of emoticons that Buzzen provides adds flair and fun to the conversation. Emoticons are symbols such as smilies, animals, vehicles, hearts, the list goes on, and you become adept quite quickly at adding them to your conversation. The dancing emoticons are quite fun when you are all listening to music that has a great dance beat!

The marriage of chat room and internet radio provides an experience similar to the pre-computer days, when friends would hang out together and listen to the radio. Technology has brought us up to a whole new level of entertainment, where you can instantly talk with friends from around the globe and share your favorite music. Each DJ has their own playlists, and you can request or purchase the music and add it to your own personal cache on your computer. In this fashion, you can burn your own CD's for use in your player or vehicle. At any given time, you may also be treated to a little bit of music history, a block dedicated to a certain type of music, old comedy bits, and sound effects that bring tears to your eyes. All in all, it's delightful fun, and the DJ's work hard at keeping their fans entertained.

Buzzen is a free chat service, with registered rooms as well as user created rooms. There are moderators for these rooms, each one having individual codes of conduct specified on the room description. Whatever you are looking for, it seems you can find it on Buzzen. Take note of the rooms that support Tribal FM, and experience the best of both worlds, internet radio and chat.
