In English, "Cat Caster"

[greatbear]

I keep hearing about a site called "Chatroulette" The premise is breathtakingly simple. The site will randomly connect you to somebody else using the site. From there, you can see and hear them via webcam, as they can you, plus there's a large text window. The controls are simple as well. Three buttons for "Next", "Stop" and "Report". That's it. I spent a total of about ten minutes trying out the site. It was exactly what I expected.

Cock. *Next*
Jailbait. *Next*
Blurry. *Next*
Cock. *Next*
Blank. *Next*
Some chick. *Next*
Three young dudes playing xbox. *Next*
Cock. *Next*
Tits. *Next*
Black screen. *Next*
Jailbait. *Next*
A teddy bear. *Next*
More cock. *Next*
etc.

In other words, it was like the early days of CUSeeMe, ISPQ, ICUII, etc. The difference is that you have no control of who you will be connected with, and there's no way to find them again if, by any stroke of luck (no pud pun intended) you actually strike up a conversation. Plus, of course, more than likely the person on the other end will have clicked the "Next" upon seeing your face (or other body part, for that matter).

If nothing else, it's nothing more than a Flash-powered comic diversion. YMMV.

It's pretty lame--the thrill of seeing random people keeps you going for a while, but the bloom comes off the rose pretty fast. Plus all the dicks. :D

it's the same as Omegle - which is full of creepy people or teens wanting pr0n too.

It has spawned the wonder that is Catroulette and the PULL THIS FACE memes...and 4chan is on it, or was causing it's merry and extremely NSFW yet funny destruction.
