Online video site Veoh has integrated several of the social networking features produced by its new parent company Qlipso. Qlipso acquired Veoh earlier this year.

“We’ve made tremendous progress by implementing Qlipso’s innovative social features onto the global Veoh portal within 100 days from the acquisition,” said Qlipso CEO Jon Goldman. “With a strong team in locations around the world, we are working to overhaul the user experience to bring multi-user interaction to the world of mainstream content like videos and music.”

Veoh users can now share content via Webcams, add 3D animated avatars to their profiles and chat live with other members.

“The future of online video is a fun, socially interactive environment for people to share and enjoy all types of media, much in the way people interact and socialize with each other in real life,” Goldman said.

Veoh currently draws 12 million unique visitors a month.
