Cnet paltalk review

Software Publisher’s Description
The all-new Paltalk Messenger 7.0 allows you to see, hear, and share files and chat with anyone, anywhere in the world–all for free. Meet millions of people in existing audio and video chat rooms, or create a videoconference of your own to bring together other Paltalk users with similar interests. You’ll enjoy six full video windows of your friends while communicating in chat rooms and groups. No Webcam is required to see people. Plus, you can share photos, files, and messages instantly with any Paltalk user. If you want to chat without the video and voice features, you can always instant message and use PalTalk for real-time text chat. Paltalk operates with AOL, Yahoo, and ICQ, so you can see and chat with all your buddies using a single program. Finally, Paltalk includes 24-hour online help.

Download.com Review of PalTalk

This instant messenger lets you create audio, video, or text chat rooms, or simply chat one-on-one. PalTalk lets you test your sound card, Webcam, and network connection. Adult chat rooms are hidden by default, and parental controls employ a password to change settings or block certain groups (both R and A groups are adult content). Even if you don’t have a fast Internet connection, you may still find the program’s integration of basic messaging services AOL, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo useful for contacting all your buddies via one messenger. You also can call your friends PC-to-PC for free. However, your friends must join the PalTalk network before you can add them to your buddy list, and they may balk at filling out the registration form, which requires all fields. If you have chatty friends scattered across various networks, PalTalk might be worth your time.

“Great chat program….except..”
I like this chat program….its independant of a larger site. The newest version has the best features yet….except it will get on your nerves because its an all new program and still has bugs in it. Also theres no admin prgrams that work with it yet. The old version wasn’t as fancy but much more stable

“Children allowed to see Porn”
Porn site with no control of members and the use of nude video and complete disregard for children and what they see on the internet.
