Meeting in person is so 20th Century. That’s why many offices rely on instant messaging software to let people chat without the need to book a conference room. If your office is still meeting like it’s 1999, though, you can use TinyChat to set up temporary chat rooms using easy-to-share tiny URLs

It doesn’t get much simpler than this. There’s no need to create a user account or register to use the site; just click one button to set up a chat room, and then email the resulting tiny URL to everyone you want to attend. Alternatively, you can enter your Twitter info to Tweet the chat room’s URL.

The chat room is like a discount hotel; there are no amenities like file uploads or whiteboards, but you can carry on a conversation with several co-workers without leaving your comfy desk chair, and save the chat log when you’re done. [Via Download Squad]
