Tinychat provides embeddable group video chat features and a customizable toolbar publishers can add to their websites. The company recently debuted an easy way for publishers to create and integrate a custom toolbar that brings group video discussions, chat and social sharing onto pages. Tinychat has attracted celebrity adoption, with artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars embedding its functionality into their official sites. The company reports traffic is up 700% year-over-year and logs about 30 million minutes of usage daily from a little over 8 million users (up from 1 million in August 2010). Tinychat's growth has drawn investor interest and the company has raised external financing totaling $1.5 million. The product positioning emphasizes simple publisher integration similar to toolbar products like Meebo Bar and Wibiya.
