Definitely different!! I can not read a post and type without looking on my fingers, wish I could dictate then I could follow each chat and respond much quicker. Asynchronous chat like blog is better FOR ME as I can read , think, respond all in my own time.
I came so well prepared wanting to quote people without making myself guilty of plagiarism but it all went way to quickly. What I leaned is you can not follow all chats because then you don't participate. You also miss important opinions and responses and when you go back to a persons' response so much happen in the mean while.
I know I need a mind change as I still prefer face to face when discussing topics that generate responses and feedback.I need to interact with content and people at the same time. Time and practise is needed. I will get there.

Teaching yourself to touch-type will come in very handy when it comes to being in an online chat room. You are right; everything moves at a rate of knots! You cannot follow everything because everyone is commenting on something else. At least we had a go and at least we were prepared enough to answer Sithabile's questions.
