Chatroulette: Celebrate Your Anonymity

by Tom

Have you heard of Chatroulette yet? Dreamed up by a 17-year-old Russian, it allows you to bounce as quickly as you want in a totally random way between other Chatroulette users in the world. The site is really just two windows, one showing you and the other showing your chat partner. If you want to interact with the person you see, there is audio and IM built in also. If not, one button takes you to the next odd random encounter. It’s a privacy invasion that remains anonymous. No registration required, just click and go. Interesting mashup of existing technologies. Something about the ease in moving to the next chat makes it strangely addictive…
