    Is ChatRoulette the future of the Internet or its distant past?

    Just when you think the Internet can't get any dumber...

    I have no interest in participating, but it's a fun idea, even if it does smell like 1995.

    If only they could find a way to transmit smells over TCP/IP... then they might have something.

    I'm almost tempted to try just because I want to know if it really is that kind of scifi-horror end-of-a-civilization experience you'd expect in a Lynch movie that the author describes. creepy masked people!!

    Another profundity I can dismiss by ignoring it.

    Also a prime example of what happens when you remove Consequence from the equation: people become crap.

    The last page is good, though.

    There's always consequence. The consequence is crap.

    I have a hard enough time engaging with real people in real life. This would probably push me over the edge into my manifesto-author-friendly cottage in the woods.

    Children. At least according to Marylin Manson.

    No 1992 smelt like teen spirit, 1993 smelt like Whitney Houston covered in the blood of a country song and 1994 smelled like a black hole sun.

    The Web Ecology Project, which brings together media researchers, has released a report on Chatroulette.
    There are also some clones appearing : Shuffle People and Camcarousel , which have given birth to a collection of memes and tricks.

    i tried it today while eating lunch. a few penises, 1 chick stripping, one guy asked me about the map on the wall behind me (longest conversation at 5 minutes), lots of being immediately disconnected. oh, 1 kitten. the only way i was crushed was in the lack of masks!

    I just tried it for shits and giggles while I was waiting for the pizza dude to show up. Tons of immediate disconnects, 2 dicks, some young kid flipped me off, a girl's ass in a thong (although it appeared it was just a magazine held up), and then about 4 minutes chatting with some girl who said she was in England. It sort of started creeping me out and I killed it.

    90% of everything is shit.

    Except in chatroulette. There it's closer to 99.9%
