Often wondered how much your favorite model knew about you? Find out more here…

New camsite visitors may first be attracted by the sheer erotic experiences offered on most sites, but now that the camgirl phenomenon has become widespread, a lot of camgirl lovers are interested in building relationships. Of course these do not replace real life relationships, but the virtual world of camgirls allows you to discover an entire new facet of your personality. Increasingly models tend to like building a real community of users, just like in the early days of the independent camgirls.

The relationship remains virtual, but the question is how much this great lady I found on cams.com or imlive knows about me? Here are a few responses:

1. Most camsites respect your privacy: your real name should be safe, unless of course you share it with the model.

1. On most sites models know your IP address: this includes your exact location, often down to the city where you are. Often wondered why a model would ask you where you are from? It is of course to show interest, but also to test your credibility.

1. Models know how much you have in the bank: camgirls can distinguish between registered users and guests, and some camsites allow them to see if you have credits in your account or not. They will of course pay more attention to those of us who can take them private.

1. Models know how much you have spent: you may be registered and have credits, a model will most likely know if you are a big spender on the site or not.

1. Often they will know with which model you chat the most: you have fallen for one particular model, but you also spend some time with others? Beware as this may become known either through the camsite stats system or through the camgirl community sites.

1. Camgirls share information among themselves: most professional sites such as livejasmin have community boards where the chatroom performers exchange information among the best and worst users. You quickly build a reputation!

Here are some tips for the poweruser at CamContacts. Test their new mobile phone access.

In a nutshell: new camgirls from the world over / CamContacts mobile services allow to stay in touch with favorite models on your phone

Many new models have joined Camcontacts: the site is increasingly popular for models who can easily sign up. The improved cam2cam and audio features have also attracted a new, more demanding, audience. Increased traffic has in turn attracted many new models from all over the world, including many beauties from Canada (try Canadashot and BlondeNSexy), France (AsianBarbie), Greece (Melania), Ukraine (GoInsane, Lady4Passion, PassionPearl, SensitiveDi and AliveElza) and of course a steady flow of new camgirls from the US, the UK and Russia.

Finding camgirls close to you made easy: CamContacts has a very powerful search feature that allows users to find models by country, language, ethnicity, etc. This is very handy to find a camgirl living close to you or who speaks your language. At the time of our testing, while many models would not disclose their location, many chathosts indicate their location, and the list of countries is really impressive: from Albania (5 models) to Zambia (4 models), there are models from a great many territories. Of course many camgirls may not be honest when indicating their location, but if you cross-check with their language abilities, you will find real ladies from France, Finland, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, South America, who are not easy to find on other camsites.

Video quality: video feeds are java-based and very good. However, CamContacts is lacking video features found on many other leading camsites these days, in particular resizeable window. The standard size is ok, but it would be nice to have the option to enlarge it.

New CamContacts mobile service – Access your favorite camgirls anytime, anywhere: with a gprs phone, members can now access all online models and chat in a group video session. The one2one option is not yet available, but this is definitively a great feature, costing the same reasonable price as the web-based access. This is the first site that supports this option, and one may think why this has not been introduced earlier. In our testing, the access is relatively easy to set up, and the video feed is actually good, considering that the bandwidth is much more limited than on cable or dsl. The service appears to be targeted mainly at UK users, as some of the features are not available elsewhere. The only feature lacking to turn the experience in a real camgirl phone is… voice.

LiveJasmin is among the largest camgirl websites, together with cumTV, ifriends, imlive and peekshows. Now also accessible as our LiveJasmin-based CamGirls Fans Livecams.

Tips for the power user: following our review, here are some tips for the power user. The site continues to innovate, with great new large video feeds and original Topmember awards.

Splendid large video feeds: As mentioned in the review, the LiveJasmin camsite has recently introduced a large video feeds feature with in-pic chatting. This allows members to have a full-size view and to continue chatting at the same time. The feature is bandwidth hungry, and performance heavily depends on both the guest and the camhost’s setup. It is highly recommended to test the full size view option in free chat (which is available to all, including guests) before taking the camgirl private, as we found in our testing that a number of models have poor internet connections. Once you have a camgirl that has sufficient bandwidth, it is a very addictive feature that will make you not want to ever leave LiveJasmin

Original Topmember awards: LiveJasmin has a VIP membership option which they call TopMembership. The site explains that TopMembership allows members to express their views and rate models. This is not really revolutionary, and it seems that the LiveJasmin performer awards, which designate the best performers every month, are based on all user ratings, not only the TopMember ratings. What makes TopMembership original is that camgirls can rate TopMembers on the basis of a number of criteria, including “most masculine”, “most generous”, “nicest”, “most sympathetic” and “wisest”. The 50 highest ranked TopMembers receive up to 500 free credits every two weeks. This is a very strong incentive to join the program, but at $30 per month, this VIP option is really for the hard-core camgirls lover. The site adds that there will soon be an option to become a site “co-founder”, “participant” or “leader” of LiveJasmin… these are quite intriguing options, and we are eager to learn more.

Number of models online: the frontpage indicates the number of livecams online but, as many other camsites do, the number of live chathosts tends to be exaggerated because many models log in under different host names.

Livejasmin Camgirls reviews: for users looking for advice and information on Livejasmin models, check out our camgirls reviews. We highly recommend Shygirl and the hilarious Roberta for camguests looking for great personality. Other stunning performers are SexyBlueEyes and SexyAngela.

Features not mentioned in our original review: LiveJasmin hosts camgirls who are only available to members, with no free previews. These models are typically not more expensive, but they tend to be more of the “professional” type who are logged in to different camsites at the same time. Another feature which was not reviewed is the availability of recorded shows to members. At $0.99/min, this is in line with pricing on other sites but, like on cumtv, some camgirls are merely posting recorded footage from porn movies rather than from their own performances. This feature is therefore to be used with caution.

CumTV, also branded as Cams.com or CamGirlslive, is among the largest camgirl websites, together with livejasmin, ifriends, imlive and peekshows.

Tips for the power user: following our review, here are some tips for the power user.

Model preview icons: CumTV’s typical startpage loads a large number of pictures of camgirls currently online arranged in two main sections: free teaser chat and live video nude chat. Pictures are actual snapshots of the models’ webcams at the time you access the site, except for those camhosts currently in private chat, whose standard bio picture is shown instead. This provides a nice real preview of the camgirl, and avoids aggressive marketing techniques common on other live chat sites, where it is not uncommon for models to use bio pictures of other (and often sexier) models.

Beware of the nude chat option: The pictures of the camgirls currently in nude chat are also actual snapshots, although you must be logged in to access these live snapshots. Non members only get to see the standard bio pictures instead. Members should be careful to base their decision whether to enter a nude video chat on these snapshots alone. Indeed, some camgirls are simply broadcasting pre-recorded performances in nude video mode, and live interaction is therefore limited (if the model is present at all). This is quite an unpleasant experience for members, who end up paying nude chat prices (around $2.50/min) for what is often available as a recorded show (available at $0.90/min). To avoid this misfortune, members should reload the page a couple of times at some interval to check if the same preview snapshots do not appear twice. The best way to ensure that you will be enjoying live interaction with a model is to start a free chat session, and then ask her to go to nude chat. Some models will resist this, and rather insist that you take a pricier private chat session. These restrictions render the nude video chat option much less attractive.

Video size and cam2cam: when logging in, users must set their standard setting either to small or big size video feeds. If your bandwidth allows, we would highly recommend to use the large size view, as it does not affect the size of your picture when in cam2cam mode. When in a 2-way cam session with a camgirl, your video feed will appear as a resizable picture within the camhost’s feed. However, the pic-in-pic is quite large and cannot be reduced below a certain size. If the small-sized video feeds option has been set, your cam’s video feed ends up eating a lot of screen space, which makes the cam2cam session less pleasant. This is particularly annoying for those members not wishing to avail themselves of the cam2cam feature, because oftentimes the Macromedia flash technology used on CumTV erroneously believes that you have a webcam when it is not the case. You then end up with a grey zone on the lower right corner of the screen, which hides part of the model’s video feed.

CumTV’s co-branded sites: the CumTV “official” sites are cumTV, cams.com and camgirlslive, but there is an increasing number of other access pages that are co-branded. These are however instantly recognizable as being CumTV skins, thanks to CumTV’s specific interface. As shown above, you can enjoy the CumTV experience with the CamGirls Fans appearance (check it here).

Peekshows is one of the longest running and more reliable camgirl websites.

Tips for the power user: following our review, here are some tips for the power user.

Model rankings: when in chat mode, choosing the “online models” function displays pictures of online camgirls in the chat window. This makes changing rooms very easy. More interestingly, it is a way to find out who are the most popular models currently online: model pictures are ranked by the number of private shows they have, and it is an easy way to segregate between the more “professional” chathosts from the more amateurish type. A more comprehensive list of the top-performing camgirls on the site is available in the member area, and it lets users see the popular models, the model of the hour, etc. It is unclear how that ranking is being established.

Why do we like Peekshows Camgirls so much? Peekshows models are really among the best. They have great personal skills and most of them really care for their visitors. Our recommend Peekshows girls list includes Bianca, Kloudia, Kitra, Merian, everyone’s favorite Rita, Pamela, and Vannesa. Check out our reviews of selected Peekshows camgirls.

Voyeur mode: this option allows to watch (but not to talk with) camhosts while they are in a private or semi-private session. This provides a cheap way to have a large-size view of a performance before making your decision to take the model private. Like the name indicates, it also allows users who are more interested in the performance than in chatting to be entertained at a fraction of the private show price. To find out which models are in private, you can browse through the many individual rooms, but a more efficient way is to go to the site’s who’s online section which highlights models currently in private with a red “P” sign atop their picture. Model fans should be careful though: “voyeur mode” is actually a misnomer, as the model can see the id’s of the users who are voyeuring the performance.

Value deals: the site hosts a happy hour session on every Tuesday morning and evening (PST), during which tokens are available at a reduced price. Power users should also make use of the rewards system, where 2,500 points earn you 25 tokens (worth a five minute private show). New users get 25 tokens, but users can only register once with the same credit card.

Upcoming features: as noted in the review, peekshows has been lagging behind in terms of features. There is no audio chat nor cam2cam option available, and the only distinguishing feature is the stand-alone browser (called PeekshowsX) whose only benefit is to give users a full sized video feed in free chat. But things have been moving lately, with the site currently testing a recorded show option. This function already exists at sites such as streamate or cumTV.
