With The Black World Today (http://www.tbwt.com), the Internet's leading news and information site for the black community and HearMe.com, the Web's largest audio community, you can experience the power of voice over the Web---and even save money on your phone bill while you're at it. Now, you can audio chat with your family and friends, establish new friendships, or even display your alter ego. If you have talent as a singer, preacher or public speaker make this your stage, pulpit or podium on the Internet -- your imagination is the only limiting factor. Organizations, associations, churches, clubs and institutions are invited to use this unique chat service to communicate with their members whenever they wish. Our chat rooms can accomodate hundreds of live "chatters" simultaneously. All you need to do is download a small amount of FREE software. This software will allow you to enter the compelling chats and discussions brought to you by The Black World Today or you can create your own chats! It's all up to you... Currently, there are three permanent public rooms in The Black World Today's lobby---"Public Forum", "Issues in the News" and "Relationships". In these rooms as well as in the lobby area, chatters are expected to refrain from profanity and lewd talk and are required to show respect for the views of others and stay on the subjects being discussed. Those who violate these guidelines will be ejected from the rooms. However, chatters can create their own temporary private rooms that can accomodate up to 100 chatters at a time. Here, they can express themselves however they wish and invite whomever they wish to participate. You may lock your room so that uninvited folk cannot intrude. These private rooms can be used as family gathering places, meeting rooms for clubs, organizations etc. where members can talk in confidence to each other in both text and audio across the Internet universe without paying long distance rates to your telephone company. So take the plunge and get started now. 1. Click on "Signup for Audio Chat". 2. Fill in the short registration form. 3. Click on the "Accept & Install" button located at the bottom of the registration page. 4. Install the software and discover the power of YOUR voice!
