By now, most have heard of the internet phenomenon known as Chatroulette. It sounds like an interesting idea - go onto the server and you can chat with random strangers all over the world. Get bored with them, and NEXT! You're paired up with someone else, and so on.
However, it's not exactly safe for work or for anyone under 18, as some people tend to abuse the simple, fun idea and instead focus their webcam on certain parts of their body while they do certain things for the world to see.
Hubby and I first heard about this site on the internet web clip show Tosh.0 on Comedy Central a few months ago, and then a friend of mine posted on Facebook her experiences of the site.
Curious, hubby and I decided to check it out for ourselves, however, we don't have a webcam. But that's okay, as you can still chat with people, however most people will "next" you since they don't get to see your pretty face.
Here's a couple fun Chatroulette Improv videos too:
- The original - Alex Roda, who's also a fellow 20SB-er, although people started ripping on him since Merlon copied and did it better
- Merton, who people thought was Ben Folds
- Ben Folds copying Merton
- A guy in drag dancing and lip-syncing to Lady Gaga's "Telephone"
Since I'm bored and have at least 45 minutes to kill, I thought I'd go on the site and document it for your amusement.
So here goes!
At approximately 8:30pm CST on a Friday night - let's see who's stuck at home and bored like myself!
Partner #1: His face kinda looks like like Brad Pitt; he insta-nexted me
Partner #2: A male and female couple, looking confused; they insta-nexted me
Partner #3: Can't make out a person - it just looks like a dim lit room with a lampost on a street in the background; I nexted him
Partner #4: A girl laying all weird on a bed with her arm in some strange position; she insta-nexted me
Partner #5: An ad for chathopper.net - next!

Guy with earphones: they start to hurt my ears if I wear them too long

Guy with earphones: but I am in kind of a public place so I have to find some way of concealing the things I listen to

Partner #20: A dude in white t-shirt, he looks bored and insta-nexts me
Partner #21: A really nasty ad for some porno webcam site - I couldn't "next" this fast enough!
Partner #22: A shirtless dude with a cool chest tattoo over left pec, I didn't get to ask him about it or compliment it though as he nexted me
Partner #23: Another ad for some porno site
Parther #24: A dorky looking guy with glasses picking his nose while he realizes his webcam is on and hurries to next me before I can comment on it
Partner #25: A dude jerking it
Partner #26: Another dude jerking it...
And that concludes 15 minutes of Chatroulette (I tend to leave after all I start getting is porno ads and genitals).
What have we learned?
There's A TON of guys on this site - very few girls, and guys with ear/headphones on will chat with you even if you don't have a webcam.
