Meet Meet

Is it possible to meet more people in an hour than you ever did in a year? Thanks to the creators of Chat Roulette, the answer is yes. Just look for a WiFi signal and log on to the website. Immediately your laptop’s video camera and microphone will be turned on, and you can chat with other members of the website.

It might come as the shock of your life to be suddenly face-to-face with a stranger (or worse, someone you know! Like your old maid of a high school teacher, maybe?) on your computer screen. That’s the way Chat Roulette works. If you don’t like what you see, you can just click a button that’ll take you to the next person (or group of people) on Chat Roulette. Hopefully you find someone you could actually hold a conversation with, this time.

Of course, Chat Roulette isn’t all about talking. You can do whatever you want in front of the camera.

A bit of caution, though. Members of Chat Roulette can get raunchy. You’ll probably see something that’ll scar you for life. But don’t take it seriously and just have fun! You can always move on in a click, anyway.
