NEW YORK, NY - July 15, 2009 - Paltalk, the leading real-time, video-based community with over four million active members, announced today that it has completed a buy back of its shares from investor Softbank Capital Partners, marking the successful conclusion of the venture capital firm's investment and exit strategy. Paltalk is in the unique position of having achieved years of profitability, which enabled the company to buy back its shares from Softbank.

Softbank Capital Partners invested $6 million in Paltalk in April 2004. Paltalk operates on a subscription-based model that allowed it to quickly reach profitability later in 2004 and maintain profitability since then. The company's success as a video chat community has stemmed from its valuable intellectual property, its extensive patent portfolio, advanced video and IM technologies for consumers, a growing population of users, superior user administered chat rooms with highly advanced moderation tools, and corporate and e-commerce offerings to help businesses modernize their communications.

"Paltalk is one of the very few companies that has managed to monetize communications on the Internet and maintain profitability, even through the downturn," said Mike Perlis, Partner of Softbank Capital Partners. "They've seen steady growth since our initial investment. This buy back is a profitable ending to our investment in the company."

Paltalk provides video and chat capabilities that can facilitate virtual face to face interactions between individuals and between groups. It is the only such provider that can support hundreds of thousands of users simultaneously, including thousands of people within a single chat room. It currently averages more than 90,000 simultaneous users on any given day and has four million members. Paltalk can be used by individuals for personal interactions and by corporations that need to address audiences in real-time or to enliven e-commerce efforts. Paltalk uses a subscription based revenue model that has enabled consistent growth and profitability.

Paltalk has a history of innovation and a long track record of industry milestones, including:

• 9 issued patents including patents covering interactive applications over hosted networks and group messaging servers
• First to combine voice and video into instant messaging
• First to enable user-created chat rooms
• First to create video groups
• Only company with the ability to scale for any size chat rooms (one-to-one or thousands-to-thousands). No other company can facilitate up to 5,000 people in one live video chat room.
• First to host original socialcasting shows to allow audiences to interact via video with celebrities, such William Shatner, Chevy Chase, Amy Sedaris, Steven King and JoJo, Slash.
• Unmatched quality with comprehensive admin controls for a safe user experience and sophisticated technology for superior video and audio.

"With our profitable history, we approached Softbank Capital Partners with the idea of a buy out because we strongly believe in the long term value of our company," said Jason Katz, CEO of Paltalk. "2008 was our strongest year in the company's 10-year history. Now with the proliferation of webcams and shift in consumer behavior toward online video and social interactions, our momentum continues to grow."

New York, NY and Houston, TX - June 4, 2009 - Paltalk, the leading real-time, video-based community, announced it has settled a lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. for infringement on two Paltalk patents numbers 5,822,523 and 6,226,686, which detail methods for deploying interactive applications over hosted networks and group messaging servers. The patents were originally filed in 1996 by MPath Interactive, a pioneer in the field of on-line video games and Paltalk acquired these patents from MPath in 2001.

The Paltalk patents protect the company's proprietary technology platform that enables server group messaging for interactive applications on the internet. The technology has many applications, including video games, video conferencing and disseminating live communications from an organization to a large audience.

Paltalk filed suit against Microsoft Corp. on September 12, 2006, represented by Susman Godfrey L.L.P. and Heim Payne & Chorush L.L.P. Paltalk alleged Microsoft was using Paltalk's patented technology for its video game systems, specifically Halo 2 and Halo 3 running on Xbox LIVE. Paltalk defeated Microsoft's motions for summary judgment, clearing the way for a trial between the two parties that began on March 9, 2009 in the Eastern District of Texas. The parties settled on the fourth day of trial with Microsoft agreeing to take a license to the two Paltalk patents for an undisclosed sum of money.

"After litigating with Microsoft for over two years to protect our intellectual property, it is gratifying to resolve this matter with Microsoft taking a license to Paltalk's patents," said Jason Katz, Founder and CEO of Paltalk.

Paltalk was represented by lead attorney Max Tribble, Brooke Taylor and Kalpana Srinivasan of Susman Godfrey L.L.P. and by Michael Heim, Doug Wilson, and Micah Howe of Heim Payne & Chorush L.L.P.

NEW YORK, June 1, 2009 - For the first time in its 23-year history, the famous Red Bank Jazz and Blues Festival will be broadcast live by Paltalk.com, so that fans from around the world can have a seat by the stage from their own homes and watch the 40+ acts live. Participants will be able to see and hear the performances on stage, as well as text and voice chat with one another about the acts using Paltalk's Voice over IP (VoIP) technology.

Each year some 75,000 people attend the three-day festival on the banks of the Navesink River at Marine Park in New Jersey to hear some of the best Jazz and Blues around. Because of the tough economic times, each of the 40+ acts has agreed to initially forgo payment for playing the event, which is free and open to all. A decision about payment for the musicians will be made after the festival is completed and will be based on how much money is donated by those who attend.

Paltalk will be providing the web cast free of charge to the Red Bank Jazz and Blues Festival. The broadcast will be available for the 4 million Paltalk members as well as all lovers of jazz and blues.

Paltalk, the largest multimedia, interactive social networking program on the Internet, has demonstrated its commitment to music in the past by broadcasting live video chat interviews and performances with such notable musicians as Slash, JoJo, Ludacris, Darius Rucker and Lonestar.

New York, NY - March 17, 2009 - Paltalk, the leading real-time, video based-community with over 4 million active members will feature two time Emmy Award winning author Danny Schechter, on Paltalk's News Talk Online show, hosted by Gary Baumgarten. Mr. Schechter, author of Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity and the Subprime Scandal, successfully predicted the current US economic meltdown long before anyone else and is predicting yet another meltdown. He will discuss the current US financial crisis and how it is particularly affecting the emerging economies of Eastern Europe. News Talk Online participants are invited to interact and ask questions live on Wednesday, March 18 at 5 p.m. EST.

With over 30 years experience in journalism, writing, civil rights and the media, Schechter is an expert on media and society. Focusing on the current economic crisis on the upcoming News Talk Online show, Schechter will discuss his observations on the declining European economy and possible collapse. He believes that, as many Americans watch the news and discuss unemployment, inflation and the quest for economic justice, Europeans are taking to the streets in protest. According to Schechter, the news has focused on the economic crisis here in the United States while ignoring the faltering markets of emerging economies and Europe.

"Schechter predicted the economic meltdown in the United States," said Gary Baumgarten, host of Paltalk's News Talk Online. "What he says about the potential of total economic collapse in Europe warrants our attention".
