Creating your own chat app is very easy, if you are aware of the technology behind famous chat apps.
Generally you will require the following

Server : Ejabberd server, YAWS

Programming Language : Erlang

Protocol : XMPP

Database Management : Mnesia & MySQL

Operating system : freebsd.

You can create a chat app successfully using the above mentioned technologies. You can also try ready made chat app solution such as Apphitect IM Solution to create your chat app instantly.
