If in addition to voice, video and text chat you need to collaborate, share screens, whiteboard and share docs with no download required for attendees, give Dimdim a try. It’s free for up to 20 people at a time - or you can download and run your own free, opensource unlimited Dimdim server (as a simple VMWare appliance) at http://www.dimdim.com

The one thing that Paltalk has that’s quite unique it’s what brings most of their paid subscribers… adult rooms.
80% of paying paltalk users are confined to adult chatrooms where anything goes. Trust me on this… i’ve seen some weird stuff in there for the couple of years where i was an active paltalk user.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but what does Paltalk give you that uStream, Stickam, and Livevideo do not?

Check out the PalTalk offices and an interview I did with the CEO, Joel, for Pop17. Nice to see they are making their service available on apple computers. They have needed a flash upgrade.

The service has that many active members? Seems weird… it doesn’t seem that compelling, based on your profile of them. Maybe it’s all circling around porn?

Meebo is doing this integration for awhile and i think they got good reviews because of the flexibilty in app.

i believe its a great Idea by paltalk although the few users on my site had said they would prefer a full client for mac and linux

Erick, if a moderator has to give you the “mic” that means is one person at a time video chat. How is this massive?

Also, while Paltalk Express does not yet support the importing of YouTube videos,etc so everyone can chat about the content like Meebo Rooms, Paltalk’s download client does. And this functionality will be added soon to Paltalk Express.

So calm down, Bill and Alon.

Many of the competitors’ products I listed share various of the features you can find in Paltalk Express. There is no perfect apples-to-apples comparison.

I think what confused some readers is that I threw in Meebo Rooms there as well, which is different than Meebo’s chat client, but similar to the room metaphor you see in Paltalk Express. I’ve updated the post and moved the mention of Meebo Rooms down to the bottom. Hope that clears things up, and thanks for the catch.

also noteworthy is that meebo does not integrate viewing webcams in rooms. they only integrate tokbox (and other apps) within IM windows.

You have a major mistake!
All these sites mentioned, except for SeeToo, provide chat rooms with some capabilities of video conferencing, meaning watching each other on webcams.
SeeToo is the only site that privedes the ability to select a video file, unlimited in size or type, from your hard-drive and watch it TOGETHER with many friends, WITHOUT the need to upload it for many hours.
The interactions surrounding the synchronized video watching can be done by chat, VoIP or phone…

Erick, you mixed and matched different products from different categories and compared apples to oranges to bananas: PalTalk, TokBox and Userplace, are video chat services – letting users with webcam to communicate. Meebo room is a chat service that let users share a video files that are hosted somewhere (like YouTube), the video does not originates from their webcams (see the difference?) SeeToo is a whole new concept that allows people share video files directly and immediately from their computers, so you don’t have to upload it to YouTube. Just categorizing all of the above under “video chat” is shallow, I expected from TC to be more insightful.
