Honest Review of Tinychat.com

Tinychat — Top Online Chat Service

Tiny Chat is one of the online webcam chatting industry titans. It’s been founded in the year 2009, that fruitful year when Chatroulette and a couple of other random chat services had arrived on stage. Unlike the other giants, Tinychat.com evolved immensely since back then. As a result, today it’s a way more complicated service than Chatroulette, Omegle and so on.

The main difference between Tinychat and the other random chatting sites is that instead of connecting to random people, you create your own chatroom or join the existing one. People create personalized rooms where multiple members can stream their own video and other people can watch them all the same time.

Registration and First Impression

Not very long time ago, I’ve run into a review about Tiny Chat, and it said that the registration process is too complex. I had no problem with it: the registration doesn’t even require an e-mail confirmation. Once you’re a member the service suggests you create your own chat room at once, but you can refuse and join the existing one. Creating a chat room right away might be a not very good idea as there are lots of rooms there and you’re most likely going to sit there alone for ages.

Looking for interesting chatrooms isn’t very hard. You can browse all the chatrooms online or select those started by people who live nearby. There’s also a top of popular chatrooms as well.

If you don’t have a camera, your chatroom will be ‘text only’, unless someone who has a webcam joins it. As a free user, you have a pretty limited set of options, but if you purchase a pro account, it expands giving you more opportunities.

As far as I understand, they don’t restrict subjects you can chat on. I’ve met some wicked people here, there were these guys just sitting in their room and listening to rave music. It’s funny how random people from all over the world can understand each other despite the fact they speak different languages and see each other for the first time.

My Erotic Experience

Although tinychat.com isn’t a virtual dating service, I’ve managed to get naughty with a couple of girls there. I had to put some effort in persuading those hotties to lose their clothes and play with me. But we had some good time together which only proves tinychat.com can and should be used as a cyber-sex video service. I’m not sure whether such things are prohibited or not and are there any moderators who ‘maintain order’ at tinychat.com.

Conclusion
