Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS will be on hand.

Ortsbo real-time chat translation tool to be featured this Friday

I‘m pretty psyched.

Next week I’m headed down to LA to report on a live event starring KISS’s Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, who will be participating in an online chat using Ortsbo (disclosure: Ortsbo is a product from my client Intertainment Media).

Ortsbo is a very cool real-time chat translation tool. You can chat with anyone in the world in your native language, and it gets translated to the other person in their native language, all in real time. And it interfaces with your friends on your existing chat applications such as Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, and Google Talk.

They’re trying to break a world record for the most nationalities in an online chat. They need 50 to establish a world record and already 80 are registered for the event.

The event will be live streamed along with the live chat. Here’s the info:

When: Friday, May 20, 7:30am – 10:30am PT (yes, it’s in the morning)

Register at KISS Live And Global.
