http://www.paltalk.com Paltalk is a service that allows users to communicate via instant messaging, voice and video chat. It offers thousands of chat rooms and the ability for users to create their own on any topic. Paltalk is available in two formats: PaltalkScene and PaltalkExpress.
PaltalkScene is a downloadable software application that is free and banner-supported. At the Basic no charge subscription level, users are able to enter any chat room and IM and have limited video chat capabilities. At the paid, no-ad subscription levels, users can view and publish webcams, as well as make phone calls. Both Basic and Paid members can participate in a SuperIM chat room with free video and up to 10 people simultaneously. PaltalkScene is currently only available for Windows users.
PaltalkExpress is a flash-based application that is free and does not contain any banner ads. It can be accessed within any internet browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc. It is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux users.
Paltalk is owned by AVM Software, which is a privately held company founded in 1998 and based in New York. Paltalk claims 4 million users worldwide,making it the largest voice and video chat community on the World Wide Web. It also owns and operates HearMe, a video and voice-enabled web conferencing service that allows users to conduct group meetings. Paltalk became popular after Firetalk, an earlier voice/music chat program, became unable to maintain operation due to a lack of adequate funding.
Black Nicks: Free service of Paltalk, called PaltalkScene Basic. People with black nicks have the ability to use the program for audio chat, publishing videos, transferring files, and can add up to 199 users in their Pal List. Users with black nicks have banner ads supporting Paltalk (meaning they will see ad banners in all chat Rooms/SuperIM (IM) Windows). Ability to join 3 voice rooms simultaneously.
Blue Nicks: Paid service called PaltalkScene Plus that gives the users the ability of audio chat, publishing videos, viewing streaming videos up to 6 cams simultaneously at up to 5fps stream rate, transferring files, ability to join 3 voice rooms simultaneously, and adding up to 499 members in their Pal List. Users with Blue Nicks have the option to enable/disable banner ads on the program.
Green Nicks: Paid service called PatalkScene Extreme that gives users the ability of audio chat, publishing videos, viewing as many cams as they may like with a stream rate up to 15fps, transferring files, and adding up to 999 members in their Pal List. Members with Extreme subscriptions can join up to 3 voice rooms simultaneously and have the option to enable/disable banner ads.
Purple Nicks: At the time that PalTalk version 9.0 was introduced, certain Paltalk Extreme members were given the opportunity to become “PalTalk VIPs”. Members who accepted this change had their nicknames changed to purple, and their pal-profiles decorated with a purple star next to their nicks. However, aside from this there are no other obvious benefits or responsibilities ociated with the new status. The only known method of obtaining a VIP nick is that the person must at the time be subscribed to the Extreme service. The criterion for keeping a purple nick once igned is that the account must be kept paid up. Starting January 21, 2008, members can purchase purple nicknames. If one is already subscribed at the PaltalkScene Plus (with the purchase of the purple nick, becomes Extreme), or Extreme levels, their already subscribed service is overrun by VIP status.
