ImLive.com promises live VideoChat with "experts", that's right, experts in the field of taunting and teasing you into paying good money to watch a live show online! There are 2 different types of membership here: a free one that allows you to browse through the hosts and pick which one's to VideoChat with, and a fan club membership which allows users to join the personal fan clubs of any of the hosts, learning more about them complete with the ability to view exclusive photo's and videos, as well as the ability to talk to other users about any of the hosts in the hopes of getting to know them better before you spend your money on them. This membership will cost you $16.00 per month, or $30.00 for two months, on top of whatever per minute rate you pay in order to chat live with a host. Not the biggest or the smallest cam network of it's kind, ImLive.com features over 300 models that can be online at any time. A lot of these girls might be foreign to us U.S. people, but exotic isn't always such a bad thing, now is it?
Your membership to ImLive.com grants you access to a variety of cool features that enable you to receive messages, view your past activities, change your account preferences, and manage your favorites. To browse the online hosts, you are given several different options to choose from, you can search by: girl alone (the largest group); shy girl alone; lesbian; couples; threesomes; guy alone, gay, fetish & BDSM; gender benders. All of these different categories are also available for the fan clubs and the video library. When looking for a host, you might notice that some of them have an icon that flashes the words "happy hour". This is an option that is made available to the chat hosts in order to offer access to their VideoChat rooms at a discounted price of $1.48 per minute. Entering a VideoChat that is not flashing the happy hour icon will cost you the normal per minute price of $1.98-$4.98 per minute depending on the host, or $67.20 for 30 minutes and $117.60 for 60 minutes. Just like any cam network, entering a VideoChat does not ensure you with a private chat/show, other users may enter at any time. If it's a more private arena that you're looking for, you'll have to complete a meeting request form in order to chat 1 on 1. Once you have done this, your request will appear on your scheduled meetings table as awaiting approval; you will be notified as soon as your request has been approved. The minimum amount of time that you can request to have scheduled is for 15 minutes and there is no maximum.
From what I've seen here so far, there are a fair amount of attractive hosts to choose from and clicking on each allows you to read about them in their profile. Unfortunately, anything else you're going to want to do here requires you to be an ImLive credit holder, which you can buy in $25 increments up to $100. Not that everything here costs you money, though anything substantial does, but just being a credit holder grants you access to the fan clubs, the promo videos, free text chat, photo galleries, and more. One of the things that I like best about this site is how it is browsed. Searching through hosts, visiting their profiles, viewing their galleries, and even contacting them, is all made very convenient by a professionally designed and easy to use interface. As with any cam site, the quality of the VideoChat is going to vary some depending on the equipment of the hosts and the internet speed of both the host and the user, though, you can generally expect a refresh rate of 1 frame per second. This being the 3rd cam site community that I've looked at, I'm a little surprised that we have yet to find one the offers video that actually streams-- someone needs to do this!
Like I say with any live cam & chat website, you really have to be a huge fan of live 1 on 1 show's as well as have the financial backing to afford it. Sure, your $16 bucks a month might give you access to free text chat, access to the hosts fan clubs but are these things really worth it here in the long run? Of course not! The quality of anything you're going to get here for free or with a "membership" isn't worth your time compared to what you'll find on even most pay sites. With that said, this may not be the largest online cam & chat community, but it's certainly one of the easier ones to browse and the prices are comparable. If you've got the cash to burn, why not check this site out and burn it here?

Review: 10-13-05 |
It's been quite some time since we've last visited I'm Live and it looks like the site has seen some major growth, with there now being over 10,500+ models in total and over 650+ online at any one time. I saw a couple of things labeled "new" like a category for "Hosts With Stimulators" and on the main page in the "News" section, they now feature themed parties like Drunken Octoberfest, Horny Hospital Party and even an African Safari. Everything else looks much the same here as it did last time but the major growth here is what's going to really count. They could use a boost in quality streams but for a cam site they're about average but there's plenty of fun to be had at this one of a kind videochat site.
Score decreased from 79.4 to 78.0.
