The updated application expands on Paltalk Messenger's existing multimedia capabilities with Screening Rooms--private and public chat spaces of up to 5,000 viewers where users can watch, voice chat, and instant message about uploaded user videos and Paltalk's new shows.
This fall, they will also show several original series that have been produced to fit the updated chat platform, now called PaltalkScene (download here.)
For Joel Smernoff, Paltalk's president and COO, the messenger upgrade and move from mere hosting to active programming hammers in Paltalk's stake in "socialcasting," which can be loosely defined as an interactive online experience that splices social networking attributes with online entertainment. "What that means is allowing multiple users to watch videos and interact with each other and with the guests in real time," Smernoff said in an interview.
As an example, guest Chevy Chase extended his 15-minute interview by a half hour during the Sept. 2 LateNet with Ray Ellin to answer and pose questions to Paltalk's Internet audience, whose contributions were beamed onto the wall of New York City's Gotham Comedy Club, where the show broadcasted.
Paltalk's Web site has the full schedule of shows.
