How much time do you spend in chatting?

I don't have time to chat in the public chat.. But when i found time, i will chat with my friends, and relations those who are in abroad, i used to chat through the Rediffchat, and the Yahoo messenger. I have not tried the public chat as of now.. but i heard about that, if we enter into the public chat we can chat with the people those who are in the public chat floor, even we can chat with the unknown people. In both the rediff chat and the yahoo messenger the said public chat option is available, but i dont have any idea about that, since i have not at all tried into the same yet. I used to chat with the people those who are in my messenger list, ie., my friends and relations only. There is no specific time limit for me to chat with them, as long as we found comfortable, and till our conversation will get over, till that time, we will chat over there..

hmm not much time its more like age groups..if you are a teenager then maybe 4-5 hrs will pass by just by the blink of an eye(just using it pal) and if you are mature in the twenties, i don't think after going to universities or jobs they have enough time to even say hello to those online friends then only sunday sunday
