WHAT WE FOUND: Fun and finding information has improved online! ImLive Friends and Romance offers you an information service and a dating service that incorporates video chat, text chat (instant messaging) live webcams and expertise from all fields and people from walks of life. Become a free member and you receive 2 minutes of webcam contact with hosts that have knowledge in a variety of fields, from medical doctors, personal therapy, cooking, education and, of course, entertainment. Joining is fast and easy, you remain anonymous to the web video chat hosts since they only know you by your member nickname. You don’t need a webcamera to talk one on one since the video will be sent to you only. Only if you want a two-way chat will you need a webcam, add a microphone to interact beyond text messaging. Once you’ve tried the ImLive service you may want to become a chat host and share your knowledge and earn some money too. We like the anonymous features of the service, the fast join form and the wide range of categories and entertainment available. Your free two minutes may go fast but you can still have fun browsing the host members, going through the categories and searching out free shows, previews and tutorials that hosts offer.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join and try the service, easy to connect, chat and watch people. Ask questions, get answers, watch live shows, there are dozens of categories and specialties to help and entertain you. There are different websites for people in the US and UK areas.
