Wanna Chat?

By now, you've probably heard about Chatroulette an emerging chat phenomenon that randomly connects chatters with webcams from around the world. Some call it obscene, but others call it revolutionary. Unlike other "social" networks of 2010, you don't have to sign up or fill out a profile to begin, which invites people to be a bit more...creative. You simply need to have a webcam and a desire to be, well be entertained. Matthew Stringer has done an informal, preliminary sociology exploration and its quite interesting to see first hand why people are gravitating to this type of online community. If you're over 18 (not that anyone will stop you if youre not) and if you can handle strangers disconnecting without warning, maybe you should try for yourself...
