Paltalk Blog - What's New on Paltalk!

We are pleased to announce the release of Paltalk v9.8 Beta this week...with this version, we have included some great new features we think you'll really like!

For example, we wanted to devise a way to highlight our best and most vibrant chat rooms to our new members...so we sat down and racked our brains trying to work out a clever computer algorithm that would expose the best rooms to new members... then we had an epiphany moment; who better to show new members the best chat rooms than our existing members --no computer could know the Paltalk community better than the community itself! And so this was the birth of the Paltalk Guides feature.

Guides are experienced Paltalk members that volunteer to help new users learn about the Paltalk community. If you have a blue, green or purple nickname that's at least 3 months old, you have a profile, and you are a member in good standing, you are eligible to become a Guide. Here's where you opt-in within Paltalk (see the red box):

As a reward for being a Paltalk Guide, you'll get a badge on your profile page. We'll also showcase the top-rated guides on Paltalk from time to time. Good stuff...

Here are some other great new features:

• Now it's easier and more convenient to SuperIM with your friends. SuperIM allows you to voice and video chat with up to 10 people simultaneously - only the initiator of the SuperIM™ session needs to download Paltalk's free software. Everyone invited just clicks a link from their email to join the instant messaging conversation within their internet browser.
• You will also be able to send IMs to your MSN Messenger contacts from within Paltalk, just like you have been able to with your Yahoo!, AOL and ICQ friends.
• Finally, you can now rate a room while you're in the room itself.
