| Name of service | Benefit | Per minute you'll pay extra for private | Monthly subscription |
| Platinum | 10 free hours special events and group nude chat | $1.00 | $60 |
| Gold | 4 free hours group nude chat | $2.00 | $40 |
| Silver | 2 free hours group nude chat | $3.00 | $30 |
| Bronze | Zero | $4.50 | $0 |
Confused yet? Me too! Basically I think you should try out Bronze -- no subscription -- at first, then if you like what you see quickly jump to a Silver or Gold level to get the discounts if you are going to spend more than a few hours there.
More confusing is I'm told that members signing up now are getting unlimited free chat even at Bronze -- but I think they mean the "panty chat" which you can get even without signing up. If you want nudity you still have to pay.
After all that once I finally got in I was disappointed to find only two girls online. Admittedly this was during the middle of their night. However not a problem, I dropped in on April -- a young blond who apparently took those English lessons very well because she spoke (typed) fine and was very friendly.
First thing she explained was that they do have sound, though it wasn't working in her room at that moment, and her and a couple of regular in her room were saying that yeah it's a new site and some teething problems but generally it is working.
Then when I asked her to zoom in -- because the video was of a huge room; nicely decorated and much nicer than the regular studio rooms -- she says "what camera are you watching" and I realize there are two cameras too chose form. Ok, that makes more sense. So I switch to the other for a very nice close-up.

This is Barbie at LiveWebDate -- her audio was working |
At this point I have to mention the video is excellent quality, smooth real streaming video using WindowsMediaPlayer (WMP). You can even right click the video and go full screen which something I've not seen before -- the full screen quality is pretty fair as well. Using WMP seems to be a growing trend, you are seeing it on a lot of sites now -- iFriends have been using it for more than a year but the sites like livecamnetwork are now also pushing it. It makes a huge difference to the video quality, but you really have to have good broadband and of course Windows, to make it work.
After a while of chatting with April it's off to see the rest of the site, there is nobody else online now but I look around and the newness of the site is apparent. Some of the sections are not really filled in yet; in particular the special events which you are supposed to get with your premium subscription, are not yet available. And the Girls Dormitory is not working yet. That's a bit like the cams in the Amsterdam Cam house, it's fun to watch though a very different experience to a live chat.
If you really fall for one of the girls then they will even sell you posters of her -- and from huge ones too, like almost 3 quarters life size, down to wallet size. Or DVDs of a couple of hours of one of the girls.
There are whole lot of "public rooms" to view as well, they aren't labeled very well but you can search around them until you find something you like.
Billing can be done in Sterling, US$, Euros or Yen. When it comes to purchase private time you can buy it in units of $5 via ibill who is their credit card processor. Which would concern me a little given the financial problems ibill has been in recently.
If 247live has the same girls then it may be better to go via them as that site allows you to pay via ccbill, EPassporte or via phone.
So my final thought is that this site has a lot of potential for viewers but still has lots of things to work out, I hope they get their development all done soonest, but as a host I would have to move to Argentina to work there which just isn't on the cards right now!
If you have any more information about LiveWebDate, please drop me a note in the webcam forum, thanks.
