Interesting idea. Since this is a bit less anonymous than Chatroulette, I'd imagine that there'll be less nudity and other shock imagery. Although, I'm sure there will definitely still be some.

I'm curious if any dating sites have tried (or succeeded) doing something like this. Seems like it might work - kind of an "online" bar atmosphere where you're free to wander around meeting new people face to face.

This may be the new trend on speed dating 2.0. It would be cool if you could choose the ambient where you want to hang out: Facebook, Twitter, BeautifulPeople, etc.

Making a white label random video chat service is probably viable as a business.

I have no idea how Chatroulette can afford the bandwidth.

Right now there are about 26 people online and I'd assume all of them are dudes.

These things do sound fun but where are all the chicks?

It just launched today and got featured on TechCrunch, a predominantly male publication. Give it time! :)

This is not anonymous btw. Profile picture URL's have your user id in them

No biggie for me personally but it might be worth being aware of!

Anonymity of Chatroulette is key. This is weak.

I don't want to be matched up chatting with friends (I can do that anytime) and I don't really want total strangers (it gets creepy and dirty). However, this could be great if it connects you to friends of friends. You could then spend the time figuring out how you two are connected.
