Chatroulette

[Imposter]

Rofl. What a bunch of losers. What's the point?

[redzero]

Trolling people.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I started it up once and the first person I saw was a dude jacking off. I will never return.

[Imposter]

I don't get it. What's the point? If your "partner" aka stranger is the opposite sex, are you supposed to hook up and have e-sex? If they are the same sex, do you make friends and shoot the shit? Invite each other over? Is this supposed to expand your social network? A co-worker was talking about it the other day so I checked it out and found most of them were some fat chicks showing their tits waiting to get hit on, some douche bag jerkin it or questionably legal age chicks performing sexually suggestive acts with a popsicle. Since you don't know who you're going to get next, there is no way to filter it and know what will pop up on your screen. Are people really this socially deprived? After a few minutes I was done. People get off on this shit?

[fraga]

How else am I supposed to show strangers my dong...

[Trainwreck2100]

its omegle with teh webcamz

[monosylab1k]

Why is it that every internet invention quickly devolves into porn? Why can't people just control their privates?

[CuckingFunt]

I'm not at all curious about giving this a try, and have no webcam even if I was, but from what friends have told me it might as well be Cockroulette.

its human nature, every time we invent something we either try to fuck it or kill with it

[Spurminator]

And why does it never devolve into good porn? Why are the perverts always fat dudes and never bicurious sorority girls?

[CuckingFunt]

Because bi-curious sorority girls can go pro and make shit-tons of money for kissing up on each other. There's a limited market for fat dude jack off videos.

I just got a webcam in July and have only used it once or twice when Skyping with my sister in Kansas. I dont' see the need for one.

Since the market is so small, do you think they are looking at chatroulette as a chance to be discovered? Hey Roger, check out this fat guy jerking it, he could be star. A big star! Let's hire him!

[Rack The Trolls!]

Remember when family guy's quagmire finally found he could see porn for free on the www?

Then the only answer to boycott paid/non-interactive porn in order to force the talent into free, interactive and easily accessible avenues like Chat Roulette.

paying for porn is like paying for air

[Spurminator]

I know, it amazes me there is still a market for it.

[InRareForm]

[The Reckoning]

5 Fat chicks
6 Fat dudes
1 Hot bitch that wouldn't show me her titties

[EmptyMan]

Dude, it's Natural Law #56

Any form of technology invented by mankind will inevitably be used to further advance War & Sex.

[Spurminator]

After 15 minutes checking this thing out, I can report that the users are 60% men with clothing, 39% men rubbing one out, and 1% underage female.

That was fun.

Video chat site ChatRoulette has been mocked by everyone from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show on down for the hordes of anonymous masturbators who sometimes lurk on the site. But Silicon Valley can’t help falling in love with anything so trendy with young people.

The site, which lets you randomly video chat with strangers, has become an Internet phenomenon since launching late last fall and now receives upward of 4 million unique visitors a month. And it’s dealing with its penis problem by experimenting with personalized channels and pairing the service with games.

The fun of ChatRoulette is its spontaneity. The site, which randomly matches up users from around the world for anonymous chats, gives you the chance to talk to a random woman in a Chinese Internet cafe, or peer into a living room in Alabama.

The unfortunate part is that if you allow strangers from around the world to randomly video chat with each other one-on-one, apparently about one-seventh of the population will expose themselves on screen. RJMetrics, an analytics firm, actually went through more than 2,800 screenshots of ChatRoulette sessions and found that about 13 percent of them contained explicit material.

The founder, a 17-year-old student named Andrey Ternovskiy, has been touring the U.S., rubbing elbows with the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. (He’s also been spotted waiting in line for an iPad!) SGN founder Shervin Pishevar has taken the Russian wunderkind under his wing after meeting him abroad during a State Department-sponsored trip to the country. Multiple angels and venture capitalists have hinted to us they are eyeing his site as a potential investment.

A controversial investment? Yes. Monetizable? That’s to be seen. One of the first things that needs to be fixed is the site’s often X-rated content.

Ternovskiy has been experimenting with ChessRoulette (pictured above), which randomly pairs you with another person for a game of chess and a video chat. His mentor, Pishevar, was also testing a personalized channel last week. Pishevar sent out a tweet asking for players, so it mainly attracted people who knew him personally or followed him on Twitter.

Hosting branded or personalized channels might winnow the possibility you’ll come upon inappropriate content, because you’re pooling chat partners from a specific self-selected group of people. It would take a very strange person to randomly play chess with you and masturbate on-screen at the same time. Another potential measure that might work is a Facebook Connect integration (not to reveal people’s identities necessarily, but to hold them accountable when they start exposing themselves.)

There are lots of business possibilities for interesting ChatRoulette applications if you can narrow the pool of participants. It takes away from the random fun, but the company can always keep the totally anonymous version alive while building sports-focused properties or speed-dating versions. Imagine if you could have ChatRoulette during live sporting events and be instantaneously, randomly connected to people rooting for the opponent’s team. Or if you could ChatRoulette other people who are also watching Mad Men or Lost with you.

But first things first. Ternovskiy’s got to fix that penis problem ASAP.
