Have social networking sites replaced chat rooms (like the ones on AOL)?

Chat rooms? I haven’t been in one for years now, those seem so ancient to me now. But, yea I would assume the majority of people now just use Facebook and stuff to do instant chatting. Google Wave also looks like it’ll be a great chat room replacement.

there’s a Fluther chat room. the bad kids get sent there. its like timeout

I think so. I haven’t used a chat room since I got on the social networking sites and sites like Fluther. I’ve never even been to the Fluther chat room. but then again i’m not a bad kid, lol

Do you count IRC? Thats still quite popular. I’d have to agree, though, that sites like facebook and twitter are much more popular than chatrooms.
