TCP or UDP for a simple chat app?

[JohnBailey]

For doing a user connected list and simple chatting, would you recommend TCP or UDP?

Basically, I want to add a logged in userlist and simple chatting to a autoit gui I have already developed. I'm just learning how to do chatting with TCP and UDP

I've been reading things like http://www.laynetworks.com/Comparative%20a...%20Vs%20UDP.htm

TCP.

UDP isn't as "reliable" as TCP

[Richard Robertson]

UDP is meant for streaming and games that have a large amount of content where the pieces that are lost are not as bad.
