I just wasted a hour on ChatRoulette and I'm not proud of it.

It is addictive though.

Article on what the hell it is: http://nymag.com/news/media/63663/

Did you jerk off? Did you talk to a 14-year old Korean kid in class?

No. Just held up a toy anteater to the camera.

no women no credibility

Tits or GTFO. I've actually met a few interesting people on there. Smoked a joint with a relatively hot gal too. Well, not with her, but at the same time.

was she from china?

No,she was in Portland Oregon. Cute though, if a little young. 19. Oh, 19...

lol @ 4 out of 20 people were dudes spanking it
i miss the days of yahoo live or whatever it was called

does anyone remember Compuserve?

lol @ 4 out of 20 people were dudes spanking it

I had this, and the only person who said something said "I am mentally ill."

lol @ 4 out of 20 people were dudes spanking it

wait you guys don't spank it while reading ilx?!?

"What hath God wrought? PS I am spanking it"

My friend just had a genuine conversation with a good looking female philosophy student from LA after I introduced the site to him and then mistakenly clicked disconnect and is now severely gutted and desperately clicking through thousands of masturbating weirdos to find her again.

trawled through frotters all night to get to you, is that all right?

I've seen more homosexual anal sex in the last 5 minutes than I have in the previous 37 years.

He neglected to mention that he's been wearing a skull mask for the whole escapade.

homsexual anal sex!!!!!!!!

no max homosexual

homsexuality is a whole different deal

enthusing about the possibilities of new technological services makes me feel like a trendpiece about """twitter"""ing, but hearing about chatroulette did make me think it was something special. like there's so much potential for broadening one's horizons or recontextualising something. or there would be without the jerking off. like imagine if some budding young studs terkel took oral testimonies from all over the world, from the comfort of their home.

A very 1994 experience -- being in a tent at Lollapalooza where there was a hookup to six or so random webcams around the country in similarly public places or the like. THE FUTURE. (I did not however have a smart drink.)

LICK YOU ELBOW

i saw some titties, then i chatted with a nice turkish girl who lives in alsace and wants to get cosmetic surgery.

Stop writing Kevin Smith's new movie for him.

Stranger: ur a cunt
You: why?
You: are you british?
Stranger: because i was going to wank on ur spine
You: who says "cunt"?
You: damnit, i know you're british now
Stranger: I do you felopian hag
You: what does that mean?
Stranger: it means your feet are on backwards and you have a bisons hoof for a cunt

dude's the best http://www.thearabparrot.com/blogs/AQUARIUS.html

lolz for days at that, gotta say

wait is that the taco bell pizza hut guy

just a heads up here, if you don't do this, there will probably never be a point at which you'll say "I wish I'd gone and made myself feel uncomfortable on Chat Roulette"

but if you DO this you will waste an hour
and you will see so many penises
and a few things more confusing

This makes me really, really uncomfortable

it should. i'm pretty sure this was what finally got god pissed off enough about sodom to burn that shit down.

Agreed.

put cat on cam = win at chatroulette

thought about doing this with a mirror pointed at the cam to ~make them think~

lol

they would just get a picture of ur cam

pics of ur cam masturbating

~makes u think~

I stared into the masturbating webcam... and it stared back

lmao at "bison's hoof"

I was using my laptop in bed and my cat decided to sit on my neck <-- perfect time for chatroulette

"What hath God wrought? PS I am spanking it"

board descrip now plz

me and a bro were jammin the other day and he turned on chat roullette and was like "hey play em somethin funky" and so i was doin porn guitar to dudes spankin it for the better part of two hours

whats so arousing for them in this site anyway?!

cool site thanks man see u

Don't think I could cope with being rejected 30 times a minute, even if someone's knocking one out while that happens.

Gotta say, the highlight of my day was definitely when a screen full of college age girls said "ewwwww" when I showed up on screen.

I talked to a kid in China last night. I asked him where in China he was from, and he said "earthquake."

I did talk to this French dude for awhile, he was pretty cool.

I'm just hitting refresh and c+pasting "thank you for not showing me your penis"

even when they do?

fuck sake i press play once and i see a penis

for some reason this whole endeavor reminds me of that bit at the end of catcher in the rye about finding "fuck you" scrawled in every place imaginable

xp ESPECIALLY when they do

I watched some guy smoke a bowl and then he asked me what I was eating and I said "an ice cream" and he said "I want an ice cream".

scintillating!

Okay, I started an hour ago trying to see if I could find someone who would claim to be jeremy shockey and then sing the preamble to the constitution and I made it happen.

now i'm going for two people who will do it

Okay that was lolz. Somebody had a Tonetta 777 video looped as their cam. I'm guessing an ilxor.

wow, that ate my whole night
never again

I watched some guy smoke a bowl and then he asked me what I was eating and I said "an ice cream" and he said "I want an ice cream".

^^^ pitching this script to lions gate btw, will cut you in if it goes anywhere

SO MANY PENISES

in the ten minutes i've gotten an old man who wanted to talk about veganism, a guy in a "free mumia" t-shirt, and two girls awkwardly making out. truly an age.

wauw people still care about mumia?

his cam was pretty shitty so i had to ask him to clarify what the shirt said.

massive tits in a white bra and a huge cock (same person)

then a guy with a weezer poster

do NOT make fun of my weezer poster

can we make fun of your massive tits?

you're paying for 'em, you can say what you want about 'em

paying for what? man i have stolen every one of your albums.

i didn't read this thread. can you just do this and scroll through all the creepy ppl/penises or does your cam have to be on too?

they tend to disconnect pretty quick if you dont have a cam too, i've found.

i just saw the wee of the poster and i typed "ween?" and the guy goes "close, it's weezer"

!

you get plenty of ween on this thing tho

no strongo I was trying to sort of follow the thread of me actually having implants & like how'd I get em etc

once again my onscreen improv schtick falls...flat

so was i! worst vaudeville team ever.

LOL

so, john, i hear you've gotten massive tits for your baseball team.

Oh shit I'm totally going to do this in about five minutes. Does this mean that I might wind up with one of you weirdos?

I don't know! Third base?

lol xpost

enbb look for the bald guy with the massive tits and the free mumia t-shirt

the thought of happening across strongo or enbb is the first temptation I've had to try this but get me behind me chat satan

as i flicked past: "sir, you are what, 40, 50 years old?" ;_;

i'm not doing this again

OK here goes

OMG

What I find depressing are dudes who whack off and disconnect you at the same time. Not even worthy of a perverts valuable seconds.

OK wait this is really fucking weird.

sorry.

how awful is it on a 1-10 where 10 is "it's making everything worse" and 1 is "all of these people are masturbating"

it's mostly just vaguely depressed looking people in their bedrooms

i suppose i could just get a mirror

hahahahahahaha

^^^^^ x-posts

I haven't seen any peen yet. Y'all lied to me.

My fucking God. I came across my ex (who I am still extremely hung up on) about an hour ago. She was drinking wine with a couple of friends and goofing off. Haven't spoken to her in a month. It was awkward. I feel like shit. What a way to be reminded.

I posted that and the next person I clicked - jerking off in bed. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PPL?????????

was he vaguely depressed looking?

if reports are to be believed, about 5 minutes from now you will remember the pre-Chatroulette-peen days as an idyllic time before the death of innocence

lol xpost

Uhhhh, I just got . . . myself!

were you vaguely depressed looking?

I was explicitly depressed looking, after the baffled face.

I would be vaguely depressed looking were it not for the fact that I'm trying to stifle nervous laughter. This is just plain freaking. I haven't stayed on anyone. Just scrolled through. So far I've gotten a "hey" and a "I like your har" from some v fast typists.

freaking = freaky, obv

OK too weird. Did get a couple show yer boobs, lots of penises and two ladies masturbating. Wow. People be pretty nuts imo.

the seeing yourself thing is a troll thing. maybe u were recorded for the lulz.

Have you guys seen the dude fucking the raccoon?

My fucking God. I came across my ex (who I am still extremely hung up on) about an hour ago. She was drinking wine with a couple of friends and goofing off.

― SourPatchCorpse, Wednesday, February 10, 2010 11:10 PM

sorry but, looooooooooooool

The final straw for me was the dude that was letting a dog lick the semen off his dick. Could not click away fast enough.

worst site ever

OMG I am so glad I stopped before I saw anything involving animals. Sweet jesus.

Scrolling through with camera turned off

OH HI ASIAN KID IN A BANANA COSTUME PLAYING A TRUMPET

xp jon auuuuuuuuuugh!!!

it's like half amazing half horrible all obsessive and yes the worst site ever.

I debated posting that experience, but honestly people should be aware of the foul and disgusting shit you aren't going to ever be able to unsee if you decide to try this.

(least) favorite was a guy with a garland of petals surrounding his shriveled up cock and a little white sign on his sac that said "MAKE THE FLOWER GROW"

i tended to just type+repeat "don't think of ur mom" when i hit the jackers

this shit is like peace out internet im done

Actually I did have a brief moment of fun hiding out of view of the camera and just letting people see an empty room - got a lot of funny faces and a couple people dancing really oddly when they through no one was watching.

at least two teenage blowjobs in media res, both m/f; both stopped to click past me
so glad i don't own a cam

Haha love that they stop to click past people. Priorities.

agh, it got me again.

You: 操你妈
You: 你是中国人吗？
Stranger: HI
You: hey
Stranger: 你妈逼
You: 哈
Stranger: 是的
You: 啥地方的？
Stranger: 你会说中国话？
You: 傻逼
Stranger: 辽宁
Stranger: 你呢？
You: 温哥华

wkiw?

feel free to die now

wah

Just wait till the Daily Mail find out about this, this is internet catnip to them.

LOL Jaxon

holy shit this is awesome fuiud

racoon guy is a gif, not actually happening live

I got some vid of Jessica alba on webcam staring, some tits, a bunch of bored dudes and a ton of jackers

i had a really satisfying conversation with some turkish guys who love film, they recommended i see some Nuri Bilge Ceylan. also had a nice conversation with a 19yo Chinese girl from a small village in central China who is studying English Lit.

is it possible to stream TV tuner through it to share live sporting events?

you could point your cam at the tv

haha maybe this is where we'll watch TV when hulu goes paywall

you'll have to click through tons of cawk to get to it

it just occurred to me that there is inevitably going to be some kind of shitty movie about a serial killer who kills all his victims live on chatroulette

"would you click 'next'?"

Looks like they might be cleaning it up. I was weak and went back for more and they now have rules about obscenity on the front page and how they will block users that are reported. Flipped through for 10 minutes without seeing a single peen!

I got a guy who was masturbating and giving me the finger at the same time - quite a feat of coordination

huh? i just showed my sister what i was laughing at and abt eight peens flashed on screen one after another =/

Maybe I was just lucky in avoiding them earlier.

I did the mirror thing but then I got another guy who was also doing the mirror thing and we sort of had a silent faceoff for about five minutes

did it go anything like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Th2dnSsXw

unh just tried to use this and amn't one bit comfortable. will just need to keep reading u guys for the lols tbh

was lots of guys jacking it while I ws surfing a minute ago o_O

lol philip

holy shit, two guys claiming to be in London just made up a song for me!

I also got my cat to sit in front of me and got a lot of compliments

hard to handle all the beheadings and gaping assholes and dudes reclining erect and nude on a futon and roomsful of fratboys surfing for boobs and horny turkish guys... for a few aight conversations.

suppose that sorta describes the whole internet up to now, though, so chatroulette, i ain't mad at you for trying.

has anyone got meatspin or the like from doing this? if i got one of those i would probably just abandon the whole thing right there.

that wasnt very polite dylannnnn

has anyone got meatspin or the like from doing this?

That's the LEAST of your worries.

(that's a compilation of reaction shots to something gross which is mercifully censored... some of the reactions are amusing)

only a matter of time before someone is looking at a naked ilxor opposite them imo

in which case 'print screen' and WDYLL fame beckons imo

wth is 1 man 2 fish

As soon as I heard of this, I predicted out loud that it would be way more interesting in theory than in practice. I'm so smrt. Me OTM.

fuck sake i press play once and i see a penis

ChatRussianRoulette

(that's a compilation of reaction shots to something gross which is mercifully censored... some of the reactions are amusing)

Probably is merciful, but the fact that we can't know what it is makes it seem like it's kind of awesome. I'm sure it's not, but... what the fuck IS it? Is it goatse? Tubgirl? The thing that's in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction?

Best thing I've seen: a skinny redheaded kid rapping along to The Streets.

Worst thing I've seen: same as everyone else.

I'm sure it's not, but... what the fuck IS it?

In the audio, a couple of people say something along the lines of "is he putting that fish up his butt hole?"

The last person whimpers "I'm so confused."

My favorite one features the screen opening to reveal a girl explaining the concept of Chatroulette to her companions, only to have this be the first thing they see.

This is fucked up. Amonst other things I've seen...
Second ever connection was some guy jerking off.
Lots of spam.
A guy wearing an NYPD baseball cap.
Lots of bored students.
Briefly, someone who looked a lot like KBP, including cape.
For a few seconds, three women. This connection by itself doubled the total number of women I saw.
Oh and I saw a guy fucking a lettuce.

Misread 'spam' there...

Actually I kind of like it though, because most internet things make you feel "oh all these people are having such a great time, I'm such a loser by comparison, my life is dull and boring", but this is like "hey perhaps I'm not the world's biggest loser after all! wheeeee!!!"

OK I just saw one where the cam was pointed at a spreadsheet that was tabulating the connections according to categories like "guy jerking", "students", etc..
Basically chatroulette.xls

Talkin' West Memphis Chat Roulette Blues

yeah big lols at the dylan thing

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Masturbating On Chatroulette)

All along the Internet,
Perverts kept the view,
While all the women came and went —
Pressing F9 while saying "ew!".
Outside in the cold distance,
Some frat boys did growl.
Two cheerleaders were approaching, and
someone removed his towel.

hey mr. tambourine man,
pull your dick for me,
I'm not sleepy, and is there no place I'm going to..

I went in for the first time prepared to see some nasty stuff, but I was honestly blown away when the first thing I saw was an extreme closeup of a gleaming, arching cock with some blurred out head in the bg with a red baseball cap on, and then a few seconds later, the screen blacked out.

You mean you blacked out...

You've got the first line of a great novel there, ZS.

"Catch one in the eye"

So many of these connections are like a Warhol screen test

oh god

I've been quoting Shakespeare at people through the text chat window. Surprised at the number of glazed expressions and slack jaws.

I'm going to try again. I have not flinched at the meltdown that occurred a few weeks ago on the ILX NSFW thread. I am prepared.

Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, he disconnected.

I did meet my first "real person" though, some guy in France who held up a cool picture from some graphic novel. We shared horror stories of all the penises we had just seen, and then waved goodbye.

You've only been doing this for 15 minutes and already you have the classic default CR expression.

haha I thought hte default CR expression was the same as the default indie rock show expression - one of feigned disinterest as you're secretly scanning the crowd for some fine wimmenz

"watch out behind you" nets some funny results - particularly the ones that actually look around.
Ah, you see it's funny when you actually do it.

You got connected to Ashton Kutcher and freaked him out?

I'm going in. And may god have mercy on my soul.

Well I didn't see you in there. However I did see:

- a lot of people sneezing for some reason
- three naked guys in the same room
- Mark E Smith or a very convincing look-a-like
- what looked like a Beastie Boys tribute band

oh fuck there's one set up to look like someone hung themself

There's also a lot of people texting on their mobiles, or even taking calls. Give it another week and CR will have run it's course.

yeah, i got the "hanging guy".
I wrote in: hey is this a weegee pic?
he wrote back: no, im dead

I'm going in. And may god have mercy on my soul.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/chatroulettes-founder-17-introduces-himself/

Chatroulette’s Creator, 17, Introduces Himself
By BRAD STONE

This week my colleagues Jenna Wortham, Nick Bilton and I have been utterly fascinated with, and sometimes repulsed by, a suddenly popular new Web site called Chatroulette.

The site, which gets about 20,000 users on a typical night, generates one-on-one Webcam connections between you and another randomly chosen user. The results are occasionally serendipitous, putting you face to face with an interesting person from another corner of the planet. More often though, the site is reminiscent of those old anything-goes AOL chat rooms, only with video. Let’s put it this way: Parents, keep your children far, far away. The site was well described in a New York magazine article recently and, oddly enough, was featured on “Good Morning America” on Saturday.

The lingering mystery, though, was who was behind the site. The question was answered on Saturday when Andrey Ternovskiy responded to the questions we sent to an e-mail address on Chatroulette. Mr. Ternovskiy said he was a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow.

“I was not sure whether I should tell the world who I am mainly because of the fact that I am under age. Now I think that it would be better to reveal myself,” Mr. Ternovskiy wrote.

I asked Mr. Ternovskiy about the origin of the idea for ChatRoulette, how he manages the technical challenges of running the site, whether he viewed it as a business, and about the way some people were using Chatroulette in, as he put it, “some not very nice ways.” Here are his e-mailed responses, slightly edited and condensed:

I created this project for fun. Initially, I had no business goals with it. I created this project recently. I was and still am a teenager myself, that is why I had a certain feeling of what other teenagers would want to see on the Internet. I myself enjoyed talking to friends with Skype using a microphone and webcam. But we got tired of talking to each other eventually. So I decided to create a little site for me and my friends where we could connect randomly with other people.

It wasn’t so easy to create it for me, but I have been coding since 11 (thanks to my father who introduced me to the Internet early – most of my knowledge comes from it).

I didn’t advertise my site or post it anywhere, but somehow, people started to talk to each other about the site. And the word started to spread. That’s how the simultaneous user count grew from 10 to 50, then from 50 to 100 and so on. Each time the user count grew, I had to rewrite my code completely, because my software and hardware couldn’t handle it all. I never thought that handling the heavy user load would be the most difficult part of my project.

As the user base grew, bandwidth and hosting bills started to show bigger sums. I am glad that my relatives helped me with it by ‘investing’ some money in my idea.

It wasn’t very much money, so I couldn’t just buy new servers just like that, I had to optimize my code as much as possible instead. I must say that lots of people have helped and still are helping me when I have questions about coding. I am very thankful to them. I still code everything myself, though. I’d love to share work with someone else, but I am not in the USA, and most of the interested people are located far away from me, because I live in Moscow. So I still have to do all the things myself. But I am not worried.

I enjoy what I do. It is like a game for me. I discover new things and solve interesting problems.

Right now Chatroulette uses seven high-end servers all located in Frankfurt, Germany. Network throughput is 7 gigabits a second. I use various technologies to minimize bandwidth consumption. But a lot of bandwidth is still consumed. Bandwidth bills show sums which shock me as a teenager, but I am not very worried.

I am glad that people show attention to my project, and there were interesting offers I’ve received that probably might help my project to survive and improve.

Advertising on Chatroulette is kept to a minimum, because there are a lot of sites full of advertisements, which distract you from what you want to do on those sites. I also love minimalism. That’s why I have put only four links on the bottom as advertisements. And what is interesting, is that these advertisements almost cover all expenses, just those four links on the bottom!

I think it’s wonderful that I do not have to put a lot of advertisements on my site to keep it running. I am not sure why it is so. Maybe because Google AdSense (the thing I use to show the advertisements) shows links to various video chats. I don’t think this is a bad thing. I actually think it is a good thing, because only people not interested or tired of using my site click those links, to explore other services.

I am aware that Chatroulette is popular in USA. It is interesting, but I have never been to the USA myself. Yet most of my site users come from it. I would love to visit the United States.

I actually think that it would be best to found Chatroulette as a U.S.-based company. But this is just an idea.

I have always wanted Chatroulette to be an international thing. That’s why I chose Germany for hosting, because it is in the middle between Russia and U.S.A. It is also at the center of various backbone European networks. I think this is a good place for hosting a project which connects people around the world with each other.

However, I am planning to get other servers in other countries soon. With it I will add more interesting and “weird” (in a good sense) features which will make my site even more entertaining.

What is currently stopping me from adding other features which have been suggested by many and have been in my mind is that I am not even sure what Chatroulette is now.

Everyone finds his own way of using the site. Some think it is a game, others think it is a whole unknown world, others think it is a dating service.

I think it’s cool that such a simple concept can be useful for so many people. Although some people are using the site in not very nice ways – I am really against it. Others do really unbelievable things I could never think of. They make up songs about strangers and sing to them, draw them, listen to music, broadcast them their own music. Two groups of teenagers can party together. That’s just great in my opinion. I am glad that I made this project and it is a pleasure for me to work on it.

sort of intrigued by this...but don't want to see a bunch of horrible shit or random people naked...

then you are less intrigued than you think

perhaps....

i was obsessed with this for exactly one evening but i have had not desire to go back ever.

I think I am enjoying reading everyone here's reactions enough to leave it well enough alone, heh.

Oh dear.

http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/forget-facebook-chatroulette-is-the-webs-new-hot-spot-20100216-o4id.html?autostart=1

The best bit? This article in no way warns people that this site is full of peener and wanking.

"Despite warnings about the unsavoury habits of some users, we took a tour of the site in the early hours of this morning to get a first-hand look at what all the fuss is about.

The raunchiest we saw was a brief glimpse of someone's boxer shorts through a pair of unzipped jeans, although we caught several fleeting glimpses of guys showing off their well-muscled torsos before they pressed "next"."

going on this site is a very intense experience, and frequently miserable. tbh the penises were the least of my worries.

I had no idea so many dudes wanted to jerk it in public.

it's kind of confusing? not sure what the appeal is, even in a dark dirty shameful secret way.

mmmm paneer

yeah but for like one in five people and one in three men?

J0hn D. I fixed yr terrific joek w/a nice copy T, you kinda made my night w/that.

J0hn's is a beautiful post.

I didn't mention that the best bit of my visit was talking to these two sweet Turkish kids, the little guy must've been about 10 and he was bopping away like crazy to some Turkish singer while his older bro was talking to me.

And then I realised after that those poor kids must be going thru the wankathon that = half of the cams and I'm thinking "hmm maybe this is not good education guyz".

J0hn D. I fixed yr terrific joek w/a nice copy T, you kinda made my night w/that.

Abbott you are the greatest!

If this were bopping-along-to-music only, it would bring world peace.

Somebody just played "Goodbye Horses" and danced in front of the camera with their cock tucked between their legs. LOL?

someone please notify by a new thread or something, when this site have no wanking, more women and less skipping.

...though the way things go its gonna to be more wanking, less women and more skipping.
oh well.

My friend just had a genuine conversation with a good looking female philosophy student from LA after I introduced the site to him and then mistakenly clicked disconnect and is now severely gutted and desperately clicking through thousands of masturbating weirdos to find her again.

feeling the pain.

So this site is about wanking women who are skipping at the same time? I wish I had a webcam.

You don't need a webcam to access the site. Like those Dr. Pepper ads from a few years ago said: Go on, try it. What's the worst that could happen?

Haha - thank you but no.

ok, first go at this just then, and third face was a cock instead

actually had a normal chat today with a guy from india who said he liked my hair

lolz at chattyjerk

Pubic? (Xpost)

If they split this into channels (sports, music, dick-wavers, whatever), it could be a template for something new and major.

I certainly think within six months this will be nothing but a bunch of dudes waving their cocks at each other.

I'm not sure the dick-wavers are so concerned by convention that they would stick to their own channel.

Thing is even if you had channels your dick waver is not a guy to respect boundaries.

oops yeah exactly

what do you call a guy waving a 2-inch dick?

Jessica Alba and the Jonas Brothers seem to spend a lot of time on this thing.

Finally tried this and it was quite fun. I just skipped the cocks and had a few wee conversations. Low hit rate though. Lots of masturbating saddos and lots of immediate skippers.

GF and I wore luchador masks today and tried to connect to people. I had a pleasant conversation with a Chilean girl who I spoke Spanish with, then the connection got lagged up and I lost her. A lot of people were turned off by the luchador mask, it was weird to be skipped by dick-wavers before I could skip them.

Also the girlfriend saw a fat vagina

i could have gone my whole life without reading the phrase "fat vagina"

you saw it - you can't un-see it!

spent some time on this last night. horrible yet weirdly hard to turn away from (except the spankers obv)

this sounds pretty horrid.

sounds like rush poker on fulltilt, but chatting?

Did this for the first time last night. Too many pervs but probably cos it was 3am when we were on..

hey, maybe we crossed paths - i was the mortified looking guy with pants on!

My experiences with CR are always after 3 AM, and keep getting more and more debauched.

Mid-afternoon means drunk dinner parties in Europe.

youtube suspended chattyjerk. this is an outrage.

what?!!? he was my new hero and now even moreso.

I like how its completely anonymous yet you can see the person so its taking internet anonymity to a whole new level. Pretty groundbreaking. More entertaining than Myspace & Facebook & Friendster all rolled into a million.

I was on for like an hour and a half and ended up talking with some girl who made badass video art and we became youtube friends, so it was worth it!

I'm morbidly tempted to get stoned with the bloke and give this a try one night for lols - it'd be daytime in the northern hemisphere so we might possibly avoid the worst of the penii.

i'm sure it is a never-ending parade of dongs no matter what the hour.

that said - getting stoned for it is a v good idea!

The humanity! :-(

Cursed OTM

Every new reaction post on this thread gives me mad giggles.

I'm sure I'll eat my words if I ever actually use this thing mind you.

This is a huge paradigm shift, some kind of preview of the future zeitgeist of planetary consciousness.

We are all made of wang?

http://twitpic.com/14szps

i just tried this for 4 minutes and felt hella weird

THEY ARE CLEANING UP CHATROULETTE NOOOOOOO!!! You can't say "cock" anymore and most of the wankers seem to have disappeared

Not that I didn't next all the wankers, but it gave it its dark, seedy cesspool charm.

Apparently, Faith No More had a Chatroulette login running, projected on a screen behind them, at at least 1 of their Melb gigs last week (the Soundwave festival). Possibly the other 2 nighttime gigs also.

So ppl would have been confronted with a giant audience of FNM fans. Who got to see a few wangs. Not that many tho, apparently!

that's brilliant

http://mashable.com/2010/03/05/jon-stewart-chatroulette/

man, it's basically unwatchable now.

...and ChatRoulette isn't that good either! ba dum pish!

But seriously, it's just blank screens and guys with towels draped over themselves now.

who is in charge of kicking exhibitionists off?

Seconding the brilliance of this.

I think Tim Lincecum nexted me.

I give up resisting. I need to get a webcam so that I can see more people. Tonight I spent a few minutes watching a young guy riding his elliptical machine.

I went on there Saturday and saw a young guy "riding his cylindrical machine." I may get a webcam too.

did i just see jordan on chat roulette?

ha, no, i'm very scared of this website

So is it true all the gross wang action's being censored out now per the post upthread?

i saw like four wangs

not including the one in my hand

yours i trust?

LOL

http://madebymany.co.uk/paxo-on-chatroulette-003210

somehow i find Newsnight's failure to understand Chat Roulette vaguely reassuring

Can't wait to see Paxo asking Brown/Cameron/Clegg if they've ever been on ChatRoulette...

Brown: "This is the kind of thing that is proof of the economic recovery"
Cameron: "This is the kind of thing that would be banned and/or heavily taxed under a Conservative government"
Clegg: "I'm going to agree with whichever of those two wins the next election"

glad to see my hometown reprezented with some nice funbags.

Haha theres two a little ways east of Ann Arbor that must be in the same complex, they are right on top of each other at an intersection. Better yet, one is a jacker and the other is a dude with a sort of "wtf" look on his face.

There's a guy in Honolulu wearing a motorcycle crash helmet.

Dear God, that map is scary...

It's kind of comforting in a "here are some crazy people, but they are far away from you" kind of way. All we need is some kind of mobile phone/CR/Google Maps/psychometric testing mashup, perhaps called "NutterRadar" or "LoonyLocate". Your phone could vibrate to warn you when you're within 100 metres of one of these characters.

woah. THAT is a unibrow.

Also I really don't think those two dudes actually live on the sidelines at Qwest Field in Seattle.

Found a dude in Chicago who also lives right next to the el train, which was fun stuff. We couldn't hear each other half the time. But what are the odds, yannow?

like actual ben folds?

To answer some viewer questions:

No piano lessons, Merton is self-taught.

Not Ben Folds. Seriously.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6xjTyw7zM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfamTmY5REw

oh man, so great

HAAAA

from fake Ben Folds to real Ben Folds. what a world!

oh my god that benfolds thing is the best :D

Especially that he actually got the "turn your head sideways and I win" guy!

I'm confused...is the black hoodie a ben folds thing and the o.g. was copying ben folds? or was ben folds wearing the hoodie in tribute?

Good question actually. I assumed the latter.

this is amazing...why did I wait so long? just chatted to about 10-15 people from a family church musician group in Georgia, GOOD PEOPLE.

Porn quotient lower than expected. Guy in Massachusetts told me that he goes on there most nights and bumps into a 'regular' crowd! There's that few people on there? Seriously?

seen about 50 penises so far on chatroulette, one vagina. it's funny the way you look at someone for 10 seconds then it's on to the next one, but those 10 seconds can still be amusing/worthwhile. last night a dude stared at me for a few seconds then his pug dog barked and he clicked next, really funny.

Yes, the pace of Chatroulette one of the most unique things about it. It makes it pretty funny to, imagining all these people all over the world, giving each other 5-10 seconds to impress.

which address are people here using? the new client seems to be really slow but the old and really quick/reliable one is FULL OF PENISES

10 Essential Tips for Marketing Your Brand on Chatroulette

loooool

wish that wasn't a joke post tbh

I'm gonna start a PE spam company on CR, who's in?!

oh i'm in love with ben folds now. that is amazing.

Ben Folds has always been amazing idea-wise, it's just that periodically his actual music is actively irritating.

^^ There's an extra word in that sentence. Starts w/a "p."

Uh (no boobs = chick dies)

tut!

on saturday I was using this and two french girls i was chatting to started dancing to britney spears and lady gaga tracks for about 20 minutes....prob the best 20 mins of 2010

Results so far: I had a cool chat with a parachutist from the French army (tho my French is crap) and funny exchanges with two Serbian dudes- the weirdness of the penis-tugging folks that just instantly disconnect is offputting tho. I set it up and let people watch me do my taxes for a bit. People ask if I am in a library a lot, and somebody said I look like "professor plum" from Clue.

Not so good: my friends (black girl and gay white guy) got on chatroulette for the first time and were instantly called "faggot" and "nigger" by random white trash. Stay classy America!

there is a decent quotient of weird aggressive looking dudes flicking you the finger or going "fag" etc...

I tried this for about a minute
- cock
- cock
- guy fumbling with his cock under a towel
- a guy who wasn't wanking! he disconnected
- another guy who wasn't wanking. he waved, said "yo" and disconnected
- cock

I think I'm done with chatroulette

Don't they have web cams?

Omegle doesn't - text only, so less exciting. Kids wanna cyber, but I've had some awesome and interesting conversations on there. Discussed horror films with a Korean girl for an hour once. Learned about Turkey and China a whole lot too.

For some fucked up reason I thght this was some crap gambling site, until my husband told me (or rather my friend) yesterday. So now I know. And I wish I didn't. I am very tempted to try this out.

took me ages to make the jump but once I did - I couldn't see what the big deal was. people just kept disconnecting after 2s (lol im old)

i put my pet chameleon on this last week (as in i propped him up infront of the camera while i sat at the side and wrote dumb shit) - got kicked off after about 10 minutes!

Yeah, I think people are starting to just click the 'Report' button constantly instead of the 'Next' button. Was showing this to a friend when I was over at his house and we just aimed it at an empty part of the room. Within about 8 minutes the message about people not liking what we were airing popped up and we were banned for 40 minutes.

This. I should sit in front of my webcam with my lace knitting. lolol

Ok so my new housemate is on this like 24/7

Or for the waking portion of the day when not working eating shitting or going to class

I just heard a rather scandalous UGHHH-HAAAA THAT'S MY GIRL

This is all I have to report.

Alansmithee didn't I just make that exact post a few mins earlier?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zn7TeISq0k

First, that was ehhhh, second, it was a Dr Pepper ad.

Why did you do it?

croatian shirtless stranger with headphones on: you look blazed
me: No, I always look like this.
CSTWO: What music?
Me: Huh?
CSTWO What music are you listening to?
Me: Dubstep
CSTWO: Dubstepppppppppp!!!! *Does big thumbs up*

Chatroulette, the infamous voyeuristic video chat site, is believed to be investigating ways of blocking out male genitals as the website battles a sharp decline in visitor numbers.

software that “can quickly scan video to determine if a penis is being shown”.

would not like to be tasked with creating that algorithym

maybe they should investigate THIS

*unzip*

Still have not been on this thing yet.

this trend arrived and died pretty quickly, eh?

Perverts with webcams ruin things for everyone.

marketing through chatroulette. kinda dated, but kinda a cool idea

ads or gtfo

that was some quality reactions there.

apologies if y'all have seen this 100x but this is all time and i'm not ashamed to say it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCiY1y3uJ3o

two thoughts:
- chatroulette is still a thing?
- huh, i guess i kinda like that song

Weird that I haven't heard anything about this site for months and basically forgot it existed only to have someone on my friends list post something about it right before you did that. Anyway, I enjoyed that.

This is p good too:

http://vimeo.com/47292793

yeah i kinda like that song too.

I LOVE that song.

Chatroulette is only two years old? It feels like it happened way earlier.

how come everyone knows the "call me" digits mime thing? is it just a huge thing? i think i've heard the song before now but not all of it.

"perv" prank seems like a pretty crummy thing to do, tbh

love the carly rae jepsen clip collection (and song)

I never ever went on this thing. And didnt realise it still existed.

there's something so purely joyous and uncynical about that video that delights me.

that song is clever "before you came into my life/ i missed you so bad". interesting!

intrsting!
