22 Jun: Remember how the owners of
Cams.com, e.g. streamray aka
AdultFriendFinder aka Various, Inc aka Penthouse Media Group
were planning on going public with an IPO? I was wondering how
that went and seems it never happened. Most recent thing I can
see is around March they were still looking for an underwriter,
seems the normal banks won't touch them. I wonder why?
26 May: "VideoChat.com"
is run by Flirt4Free and has
most of the same hosts online. Difference is that all
"privates" are actually group private, and start at $3/minute
instead of the $6 of F4F. Given that group privates are often
a group of one that's a good deal.
14 May: German and Spanish speakers can chat in their own
languages with the cam girls at
Camcontact.
German
version of Camcontacts is camcontact.com and
Spanish version of Camcontacts is camcontactos.es.
10 May: Flirt4free is doing their "new user gets 120
credits free" promotion. It worth 2 minutes private 1-on-1 or
6 minutes voyeur mode. Also noticed that there are girls in
Flirtforfree claim to be
squirters. I haven't tried, let me know if you've seen them
really squirt. [read review][visit

4 May: Recession time:
Camshow.com delisted as it has given up and now has a page
saying they are closed; in this case they didn't sell out to another
site. And Camazon.com too soon as well due to "lack of
interest".
3 May: PrivateFeeds
adds cam2cam, no extra charge for two way video during privates.

27 Apr: The mostly non-nude cam site
OnHerCams is doing a special tonight with free cams and a
photoshoot of one of their models. See it 6pm PST / 9pm EST /
2am UK. Considering their normal high charges any free cams
are certainly to be checked out!

24 Apr: As a chathost you do pay your taxes, right? If not
and you are in Sweden then watch out as the law is on to you!

23 April: This weekend is Giant Dildo Weekend! no,
it's not a national holiday 9sadly), but it is a promotion over at
21 April:
Lovelycamgirlslive.com announces they no longer will charge
extra for cam2cam in privates.
8 Apr: Visit Camcontacs
this weekend to play their Happy Easter Egg Hunt game. Viewer
and host have to work together on a memory game to gain points
which turn into lucky draw chances for prized up to $1,500.
[try your luck]
7 Apr: Just realized Ifriends also has 3D with color
glasses, not just livejasmin. Any more 3D choices? Does
anybody actually USE them?
1 April:
Lovelycamgirlslive.com has a promotion; if you purchase $50
credits during April you could win another $50 in credits in the end
of month lucky draw. Trouble is, I see zero chathosts online
at the moment so perhaps there will be nothing to spend your credits
on! Meanwhile
sizzlingcamgirls is soft launching so
check it
out.
31 Mar: Can't say I like the name of "Your-Free-Cams.com"
very much as it is of course promising something it doesn't deliver.
In fact it delivers less free than many other sites as there isn't
even free teaser video, but at most a still image and text chat.
24: Is it a good sign or a bad sign when sites start to
think outside the box? imLive
starts to do non-English language promotions in German, French,
Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Turkish, Greek,
Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.
While
LiveJasmin are doing 3D with
red/blue
glasses!
18 Mar: XCams, the
French/English site, claim to have registered their 16,000th
chathost. I think it would be more meaningful to mention how
many are actually online, which is not at all clear from their site.
17 Mar: As a host would you go and work on a
brand
cam site that pays 80%? Sounds too good to be true, but
you never know -- maybe finally has worked out a way so let us hear
what you think. [more

16 Mar: St Patrick's Day is coming so expect to see a
bunch of green and blarney promotions.
PrivateFeeds will be doing
Red Head specific shows on the day.
13 Mar: Friday the 13th Discounts? Seems a weird
topic, but you'll find a 9% off at Flirt4Free today only. [

8 Mar: Classy non-nude cam site
OnHerCams opens a sister site
which does promise fully nude cam shows,
SizzlingCamGirls.
Seems like a great idea, but they currently lack hosts online. (Update,
apparently it is not officially launched yet, stay tuned as they
say).
26 Feb: Ok that's it --
spread4u is history, all links
there now end up at
Cams.com. I feel strangely sad
about it for no real reason -- one of the big names just
disappearing like that. Where you a regular at spread4u?
Either viewer or host -- drop into the
forum and let
me know how the "transition" has been for you.
24 Feb: Porn star Sinnamon Love is doing free cam shows
weekly for members her site and CamZ.com.
The shows are one hour and can be seen Wednesdays at 1 p.m. and
Fridays at 10 p.m. What do you think of that?
Obviously this is basically a promo for her which is cool and
everything and if it increases peoples awareness of the pleasure of
a good camshow then I think in the end it benefits everybody!

23 Feb: An email in my inbox this morning from
spread4u owners WebcamCash tells
me that they have just been bought up by the owners of
Cams.com, e.g. streamray aka
AdultFriendFinder aka Various, Inc aka Penthouse Media Group.
No news on what is going to happen -- whether they will continue to
operate separately (seems unlikely), will be integrated (maybe) or
if Spread4u viewers and hosts will just be moved over toe the
cams.com site (that's my bet).
17 Feb: Latest promotion at
NeonCams is Mardi Gras Party is the next event, running from the
23rd to the 25th February, get 10% free bonus credit for all
transactions during the event and will also earn double member award
points. [visit

16 Feb: Changes over at
Cams.com / cumtv in how pre-recorded videos are charged.
They used to be on a per minute basis, but now it is a flat $5 fee
per video. Premier members get 5 free shows a month as well.
No word on how much the host gets for this. Let me know in the
forum if you have that detail.
13 Feb: At the
XBIZ Awards, that's like the
Oscars for adult companies,
Flirt4Free owner Video Secrets won Live Video Chat
of the Year, and imLive
owner PussyCash won Outstanding Achievement in Online
Marketing and Promotion. What does one
wewhatsitsabob have to do to
win these anyway? Personally I think
Flirt4Free, which is on the
premium price side, will have difficulty to keep up this year.
Their video and their hosts are top notch but in 2009 I think
cheap-and-cheerful-saves-my-money is more the moto than
top-shelf-quality-is-worth-the-money.
12 Feb: PrivateFeeds
has Valentine’s themed shows at $0.50/minute leading up to a
live 5 girl orgy on February 14th at 9 pm EST. How romantic!

28: If you are a chathost or model a new must-read by
Danigirl is "Health

the challenges faced by their favorite hosts!
13 Jan: PrivateFeeds
have changed technology for their video. It is flash now so -
no more Java and also no more streaming Windows video. The
flash video is very good, but lacks the excellence for the broadband
streaming option they offered before.
12 Jan: Virtual 3D sex anybody?
Redlightcenter.com offers this if you'd like to have a
secondlive.com experience but with less clothes and more sex! [visit
site]
5 Jan: Just noticed this -- the parent company of
Cams.com has
filed for IPO! That isn't as good as it sounds though as
they are doing it to try to raise cash to cover more than $400
million debts they have! I don't know much about finance but
that doesn't sound good to me.
