Chat roulette – no wheel or ball but lots of nuff-nuffs

Our techie guy told me the other day that this site gets quite a few visitors searching Google for the term ‘Chat Roulette’. I figured this was just players looking for live roulette games where they could chat to the dealer, until the site chatroulette.com was brought to my attention.

Apparently its one of the net’s latest crazes, growing in popularity at an exponential rate.  And I can see why.

The way it works is simple.  Hit the ‘new game’ button and you are randomly hooked up with another visitor to the site for a one-on-one chat.  You see them, they see you.  You chat or hit ‘new game’ to move on to the next random “chatee”.

It’s an ideal stage for voyeurs and exhibitionists so you get your fair share of nuffs-nuffs and circus freaks.  You’re unlikely to go 5 ‘new games’ without seeing a snag or nudity of some kind.  You may well be disgusted, you might be amused, you will probably find yourself wondering what motivates someone to want to do that over a webcam?

But like a car crash, while every fibre of your rational being is saying to you “move on…nothing to see here”, that little voyeur within can’t help but look.

And just like the internet itself which is 90% rubbish and 10% gold, amongst all the pointless, weird or downright disturbing encounters you’ll have on chatroulette, you might just come across something interesting or amusing. It’s also given rise to the unique talents of the Chat Roulette improv guy…
