Virtual chatrooms are very popular social networking spaces that offer an interactive, user submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos and videos internationally. They are the most effective public spaces in the context of global societies whose community-building depend growingly of the search of common affinities, and not of phisical proximity of urban squares. They guarantee situations of real interchange, and those of action outside its virtual boundaries. For this can be a banal tool and at the same time a tool for the management of action and upheaval, for the association and coordination of people. Barthes pointed out that the space of conflict, of friction, is the public space par excellànce.
Chat rooms are also the places where avatars meet. Places to freely and temporarily transform and literally wear alternative identities, a kind of accelerator of identity, a personality laboratory. The temporal exacerbation of the construction of the imagined self.
