The Benefits of a Responsive Chat Room

RumbleTalk offers chats rich in features that are not only user and admin-friendly, but also fully responsive chat rooms.

No matter what device you use, you need to have a good view of the content on it. This is especially important with a chat room. A responsive chat environment should give you just that; a seamless transition between devices and screen sizes. Users should be able to access content easily. And hosts shouldn’t have to jump through hoops just to support various devices.

As such, we designed RumbleTalk chat to complement and improve a website rather than prevent it from achieving its potential. The chat works perfectly on mobiles, tablets, and computers alike. As you can imagine, these devices have vastly different resolutions and aspect ratios, but RumbleTalk chat is well designed and responsive no matter the specs.

What Makes a Responsive Chat Room Responsive?

So what makes a responsive chat room responsive? It takes a little more than for it to just resize to fit the screen. While that is enough to make most “regular” websites work on mobile devices, it takes more for a chat room. Some functionality has to be different, such as the way the messages are displayed and how notifications are received. You also have to think about how you access the chat. It should be easy to use and clearly marked, but not so intrusive that you can’t see anything else.

RumbleTalk solves these problems very nicely with a set of mobile-views with individual controls that affect certain screen sizes. With simplified options for chat participants on mobile devices, it’s just as easy to use as a chat window on bigger devices. This applies not only to the JavaScript version, but also to other platforms. Amongst these is Wix—a popular drag & drop website builder, as well as other well-known names like WordPress and Joomla.

No matter the environment, screen size, or device type, the chat is fully functional and makes for a pleasant user experience. File upload and sharing, group chats, individual chats, and sending video and audio messages all work well on multiple devices and screen sizes. Being on the go no longer means being restricted in what you can see, and how you can take part.

Hosting a Responsive Chat Room

As for the host side of it, whether you have a Wix or self-hosted website, there are sets of options for different devices. All of them are also compatible with the variety of skins and themes offered to customize the look and feel of your chat. Best yet, RumbleTalk’s responsive chat is fully HTML and CSS compliant and you can easily customize it.

Your chat isn’t bound in one place either. While a boxed and fixed chat is certainly possible, a floating icon that opens a chat on click or touch is also an option. This ensures your chatroom is always accessible, but doesn’t take over the rest of the site. On a mobile device the chat changes to look similar to most messaging and texting apps, making for an intuitive user experience.

In short; no matter the display, the content is easy to read and the interface very user friendly. You get similar experiences if you move from computer to tablet or even mobile. For a host the setup is simple to use and highly customizable, opening up the possibilities for experienced web developers and first-time designers alike. Through RumbleTalk’s responsive chat technology, online communities can freely interact from wherever they are, and however they want to access the web.

Where Are Membership Chats Used These Days?

Chat rooms, both public and membership chats, are now a mainstay in the online world as we know it. They seem almost ubiquitous when visiting all sorts of different websites.

Are you interested in opening a new bank account online? There is likely the option to start a live chat with a customer service representative.

You may be considering booking a vacation. Instead of calling for information, you could easily select the chat feature to talk to a travel agent.

However, just because chat rooms are everywhere and people generally know how to use them, doesn’t mean everyone fully understands their potential.

Especially when it comes to membership chats, you may be wondering how other successful websites incorporate them.

Well, there are many different types of websites that use membership chats. For example:

  • Stock Trading Websites
  • Closed Communities
  • Fan Clubs
  • Teaching
  • Dating Websites

We will discuss how membership chats are used in all of these types of websites below.

Stocks, Forex, and Social Trading Rooms

More and more people are taking an interest in the stock market. Rather than letting other people handle their investments and portfolios, individuals are wanting to take charge of their financial futures.

However, this may be easier said than done, as the stock market is complex. It may be very intimidating to a newcomer.

This is where membership chats come in!

Visitors to a stock market-related website are likely there because they have questions. They may not fully understand how to begin investing, what types of stocks to invest in, and general tips on how to be successful.

While there are likely articles and posts related to these topics, being able to ask specific questions to experienced stock market traders and enthusiasts definitely entices newbies to join a membership chat.

In this space, they would be able to relay information about their specific financial situation and their goals and receive individualized advice in response.

Closed Communities

What is a closed community, you may wonder?

A closed community is a community in which a group of people with similar interests, backgrounds, cultures, or preferences come together, united by their similarities.

Closed communities do exist in real life, but they are very common online as well.

The Internet is a great place for people to find like-minded individuals who share the same interests and beliefs.

This is especially true if someone is having trouble finding people in his day to day life who they connect with. They are able to find various communities, groups, and clubs where they can participate in discussions that they otherwise would not be able to.

In this scenario, membership chats may be a good way to encourage individuals to become members of a website. They may be initially lured in because of the content, but will stay for the opportunity to make friends.

Fan Clubs

Fan club websites also frequently incorporate membership chats into their sites.

There are many websites that fans set up to discuss their favorite sports team, book series, TV show, movie, and celebrity, to name only a few.

Membership chats allow provide a space for fans to connect with each other, even if they live half way around the world.

For example, if there was a fan page for a football club, members may discuss their favorite players, expectations for the season, opposing teams, and why they like that particular club.

Teaching Areas

As more and more students of all ages are turning to the virtual world for education, websites must adapt.

Today, many people seek out online classes, tutoring, and full degree programs. Students complete these courses relatively independently.

However, with the use of membership chats, students have a way of interacting with each other and the professor.

Professors may use membership chats to hold live discussions, conduct polls, or really information to students. Students could also connect with other students when working on group projects or discussing assignments.

Membership chats allow both student and teacher to interact on a level that is similar to the in-classroom experience.

Dating

Most dating websites allow members to see only a small amount of content before they become members of the site.

One of the perks of becoming a member is gaining access to other dating profiles and the ability to engage other users in a chat room.

The function of a membership chat is pretty obvious here. It provides visitors with an obvious reason as to why they should become a member. The chats also can act as an archive of messages between two people, which they may want to hold on to in the future.

What Makes for Fresh Website Content?

There are a few guidelines to follow if you want to make sure your content will help improve your ranking on search results.

  • Use of Certain Words – If an article or blog post on your website contains words that match a search query, then your website is more likely to achieve a higher ranking in the search results. It is helpful to choose a particular keyword or phrase and use that wording throughout the article to improve the odds of your website ranking high.
  • Accuracy – Is the content accurate? Are you able to link to reputable sources? Can the audience trust what you are saying is true?
  • Relevance – Is your website content relevant to the search query? If you are aware of current trends and news items and produce similar fresh content, this is a great way to stay relevant.

Every piece of content you publish is analyzed by search engines. If you write content that follows the above guidelines, the search engine is more likely to rank your website higher when web searches are performed.

Using certain words in your content is not particularly challenging. Checking for accuracy in the article may be more time consuming, but also is pretty self-explanatory.

But you may be wondering, how do I make sure my content is relevant?

Chat Room Generated Fresh Content is Relevant!

By its very nature, the content that is generated from conversations in chat rooms is relevant.

Chat rooms allow you to engage with your users and customers, listen to their questions and complaints, and learn about their interests.

This gives you a huge opportunity to gain insight into what is relevant in your industry or field. Nothing could be more relevant than talking to your customers about your service, product, or website.

You should treasure this insight as if it were pure gold!

With these chat room conversations, you have a couple of options. You could export the entire conversation into your HTML and add it to your website with a quick copy and paste.

It is incredibly simple to do this. After logging into your admin panel, find the “Archive” option. Then you select the messages you want to export and click “Export.”

That’s it! You are done!

Another option is use the chat room conversation as inspiration to create fresh content.

Maybe a user said something that made a light bulb turn on in your mind. A new idea for a blog post or article!

Perhaps you recognized that several users had the same questions and concerns over your product or service. While you may have addressed these concerns in the chat room, this also is a new opportunity to write an article for your wider audience that addresses these concerns in greater depth.

You can see that there are multiple ways you can use your chat room conversations to create fresh content.

Take advantage of this knowledge and you could drive more and more users to your website!
