+{{R to related topic}}
-Firetalk was created in 1997 by Multitude Communications in [[South San Francisco]]. The product, Firetalk, had its birth in a program that Multitude created called ''[[FireTeam (video game)|FireTeam]]''. FireTeam was a multi-user game played over the internet. The game received good reviews, with the most favorable review highlighting the VoIP feature that FireTeam used so that users could communicate and plan over the internet. It was at that time that Multitude decided to branch off and create a program strictly for VoIP called Firetalk and Multitude adopted a "DBA" as Firetalk.

-Four years later, Firetalk announced that it would need to shut down. Despite claiming to have 2 million users, it had only a few thousand paid subscribers.<ref>{{cite web|first= Wylie|last=Wong|url=http://news.cnet.com/2100-1033-253588.html|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120711105612/http://news.com.com/2100-1033-253588.html|title=Firetalk may douse online voice chat|website=[[CNET]]|archivedate=July 11, 2012|date=March 5, 2001|accessdate=October 21, 2022}}</ref> Firetalk's web site address, firetalk.com, was later bought by [[Paltalk]].
