Over on the Chatroulette Clone blog we’ve just announced the official introduction of an affiliate program.

Under the terms of the program, website owners with high traffic sites can easily start reselling Chatroulette Clone licenses. A generous revenue split and straight forward terms of service have been combined into a program, that will facilitate expansion of our business based upon fair business relationships.

If you are into the business of Internet Marketing, you should definitely check it out and get in touch with the Chatroulette Clone team.

As a proof-of-concept we’ve created a full Chatroulette clone, which adds some additional features missing from the original. The project is currently in early beta and can be found at www.CamCarousel.com.

Though we’ve received quite some feedback, we are not yet sure, what we’re going to do with it. Ideas range from handing it to the open source up to adding support for white labeling and theming and selling CamCarousel to website owners.

CamCarousel has been entirely developed as a Adobe Flex application and does not require specific server technology. It includes a light-weight, RESTful service backend, based on PHP 5.

Multimedia streams (audio/video) are handled peer-to-peer, thus the bandwidth requirements to operate a CamCarousel site are reasonably low.

2008 has been an exciting and eventful year crowned by the acquisition of the VoicInt Telecommunications GmbH Spin-off by Genesys, a 100%  Alcatel-Lucent daughter. Shortly after we closed the deal, which I’ve mostly been preparing and accompanying throughout last year, I’ve decided to resign from my day-to-day operational duties as VoicInt’s Vice President for Sales and Strategy. The remaining VoicInt shares will now be hold by acceleract GmbH. As the owner of acceleract GmbH I’ll remain very grateful to the company and stay in touch from a healthy distance to accompany VoicInt’s future evolution.

I’ll be happy should you be interested in keeping in touch and subscribe to the acceleract RSS feed.

Barack Obama’s outstanding campaign to become America’s 44th president has proven most impressively the power of social media and social networks. I don’t understand why German companies tend to be slow in using these modern marketing tools while Accenture, British Airways, McDonalds and others already make use of them heavily.

acceleract GmbH is consequently going to leverage the potential of social media marketing. I’m also available to help you leverage real-time and social media for your business.

Yours sincerely,

Ralf Rottmann
