PalTalk plans to add video streams to certain PalTak chat rooms so that users can now watch videos simultaneously while chatting about the content of the videos. The video content will initially come from Heavy.com, ManiaTV, blip.tv, and Rip.tv.

I can see that if the new service becomes popular on PalTalk that video sites such as YouTube and others may add similar simultaneous viewing and chatting capabilities to their sites. This type of service could also become popular with advertisers and producers looking for detailed feedback from test audiences.

This could become a large revenue source for popular video sites.
