PrivateFeeds provides free live chat and then it's up to you to take the
chathost to one-on-one chat. No credit card is required to have a live
chat, just choose a handle and you can start chatting.
PrivateFeeds has a very complicated way of calculating credits. Basically it's about $1 to
0.83 credit, and you need 2 credits per minute for a semi-private 1 on 1 shows.
But very sensibly (and unlike a lot of other sites) they do give a discount if you buy more credits.
Free phone to US, Canada and UK viewers.
It uses lots of fancy technologies; flash movies and java applets. Video
can either be their own pure java based solution, which is basically a fast
slide show, or the new Windows Media Player 9 (WMP9) stream which is like
watching TV.
A link under the video window lets you switch back and forth from the normal to
the "broadband webcam video". If you have a high speed connection then
this is worth trying for sure.
Broadband means they are using real WMP9 streaming and this gives extremely high
quality and fluid video. The first time you switch to broadband it has to
load a Java based wrapper around the WMP and so you'll get a Java security
warning to trust a signed applet from DHLive, Inc -- which is the company who
owns Privatefeeds.
In private chat you are allowed to switch to
full
screen mode as well if you are using broadband which will get you
maybe not "DVD" quality about at least "TV" quality video.
You will also have to be in private to get sound, as long as the host has the
speaker icon beside them that means when you are in private chat you'll be able
to hear them.
There don't seem to be any more purely
free signups (just give an email address). You can chat as a guest, but if
you want a membership then it will cost you $1.99 (lifetime fee) -- or for $9.99
you get the lifetime membership and some credits thrown in.
There doesn't seem to be a separate "VIP membership" any more.
VIP membership, unlike that at sites like flirt4free where it's a monthly fee,
is free. PrivateFeeds VIP membership basically means they have
authenticated you as genuine, and that's done with a phone call and providing
your credit card details.
The benefits of being VIP not only are the 20 free credits for shows, but you
also get 10% extra credits on every purchase.
When you join you have to give a username and a password. they are
unusually strict about using sensible, secure, names -- the name has to have
letters AND numbers. While the password has to be at least 12 characters.
While slightly inconvenient this is very sensible and we should see more sites
doing this.
The only real down site to the site is the lack of girls I think -- 25 online
including two guys as I write. But they
put up a schedule so you can easily tell when your favorites are going to be
there!
Private feeds has separate sub sites for:
I heard they did a deal with a studio to ensure that there are at least
some guys on the gay channel at all times. That's a real problem for
small gay sites, just not enough models. In the case of "Male
PrivateFeeds" as they call it there are a good selection for at
times.
A nice small but actually quite useful feature is that you can choose two
different color schemes for the site (once you are registered that is).
Either "day time" or "night time" for a light white look or a dark black
look:
Choose the one that's easier on your eyes.
PrivateFeeds mostly (always?) the same hosts as
Pornication.
LoveSexxxy is now the same as
privatefeeds though it used to be an independent site. You'll also
find the same hosts online realliveguys, livelatina and
camsters which are all owned by livebucks.

The pay out is 35% to 45% depending on -- well, depending on what they
think of you so I'm not sure what people really get.
