What Was It?
MSN Chat supplied public and themed chat rooms in Microsoft's online world. Entering a room meant joining a conversation already in progress rather than contacting only a known friend.
The service represents the public-room side of early online social life, distinct from a private messenger's carefully maintained contact list.
