Paltalk
Paltalk offers more than just instant messaging tools
December 20, 2005

One of the most amazing things about the Internet is the
way it connects us to people all over the world, people we
would not have a chance to otherwise meet. This is often a
selling point to the use of chat rooms.
Paltalk is a
service that offers you the chance to chat with others across a
variety of locales in several different ways.
The Paltalk.com free download offers far more than
instant messaging tools. With this service, you're also able
to use voice chat, video chat, and chat rooms. One of its
best features is the interoperability with major IM services
-- you can use their IM service to message friends with
Yahoo!, MSN, and AOL's services. That way, you get all the
benefits of a more dynamic service without losing the
ability to talk to friends who don't use it.
Paltalk.com offers both free and paid services. Upgrading
to the premium service means fewer ads, the ability to
create your own chat rooms and control its size, and the
ability to view unlimited live motion, rather than still
frame, webcam images. There are fewer options with the free
service, but you still enjoy all the benefits of chatting.
Consider this service if you're looking to get in touch
with a large online community -- there are three million
monthly users, according to the site. The themed chat rooms
may appeal to someone who needs an outlet for discussion.
However, do be careful when you're downloading the program,
as you'll be prompted to download non-service related
programs as well, which may slow down your computer.
