Apparently I’m way behind the curve on this one, but there’s a website out there called chatroulette.com that is very similar to my previous post about Omegle.  It puts you and an unnamed stranger into a video chat room together.

There are a lot of videos out there, detailing Chat Roulette experiences… Including this one made by Ben Folds at one of his most recent concerts.

The only catch is that both parties must have a webcam set up in order to use the service at all.  Fortunately, there’s a work around for that as well.  This post over at Instant Fundas details how to use a program called ManyCam to fake your live feed to the other party you’re chatting with.  Now that I know the feed can be modified, my mind is filled with tons of possibilities… Maybe I’ll record some and post them later.  In the mean time, go try out Chat Roulette for yourself and leave your thoughts in the comments.

24 Best Chatroulette Screenshots

And of course — there’s a blog out there posting nothing but Chatroulette Screenshots

EDIT 4/14/10: Yeah, you know how I said that this site could be interesting if used creatively?  Well, forget that.  It sucks.  It’s just a bunch of old guys jerking off into their webcams.  Someone should really do a study on why people feel compelled to do that.
