Kiwibox.com Launches Video Chat And Live Broadcast Features
NEW YORK, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kiwibox network proudly announces the integration of video chat capabilities into Kiwibox.com and kwick.de. Members across the globe will be able to chat with one another in real time private and public internet-based chat rooms. This feature will be able to connect members face to face over the internet with friends on the Kiwibox network new and old to collaborate, exchange information and chat.
Specifically, the Kiwibox Video Chat platform offers the option to join and create specific chat rooms while holding conversations with multiple users simultaneously. Chat rooms vary by popular topics in music, sports, movies and open/ general discussion, offering a variety of means to communicate. The development of Kiwi Live Chat creates easy access for users to collaborate on school projects, develop business plans, and host conversations with long distance friends and relationships via the Kiwi platform.
Kiwibox is also proud to unveil its "KiwiLIVE" live streaming video channel on kiwibox.com, where users globally can witness Kiwibox parties directly broadcast from the event. Through this service, users continue to "Explore, Connect and Party" and stay connected to their friends regardless of location.
The introduction of these features on Kiwibox continues to keep the social network on the cutting edge of popular technology. Video chat features are rising in popularity throughout social media and the internet overall; currently teens are the largest demographic of video chat users as 40% of teens use video chat capabilities to interact directly with their friends. Of the 77% of teens who currently use social networks, 42% of the video chatters are female.
Connecting users through interest networks and nightlife activities has been Kiwibox's method of organic growth, and the implementation of both the video chat and KiwiLIVE features expect to show growth in site interaction, further connectivity between members and attract new members through live chatting.
