chatroulette is intense
March 1, 2010
this is wild. the site is called chatroulette and the concept is that you hit play
and it instantly finds someone else and sticks you together in a full on video chat. like russian roulette but for video chat and without the fear of dying. all you need is a webcam. so i guess there is some fear – the fear of seeing someone doing wacko shit.
the video below is a nice safe example of how to have fun with it. however i imagine most people have a different idea of fun with a live camera. it spooks me the fuck out to be honest. i connected and instantly i was staring at this teenage dude and i was like c-ya!
here’s another feel good clip – i like this.
i heart and hug you all.
UPDATE: here is jon stewarts take:


i was at first deterred by the idea of chatroulette.com after hearing about how many guys are just whacking off on camera. but my boyfriend put the camera on me while i was making dinner and i just couldn’t help but become interested when a guy in germany was suddenly yelling, “WHAT’S FOR DINNER?!?!?!” basically we ended up being on it for hours. my favorite was some blonde euro doll-like child who we played peek-a-boo with for probs twenty minutes. we felt like we were babysitting cause once we “nexted” him then who knew what he’d see.

Haha, that’s crazy. I went through about 30 people just now and they were all guys who disconnected after about 2 seconds. Enough time for me to give them a peace sign and a cheesy grin.
