Chatroulette Review: Chatroulette’s clones

You only need Internet, a pc and a webcam to connect. The page of Chatroulette has two windows, your own and the other one that searches random between millions of users connected from around the world.

To change your chat-partner you just have to click on ‘’next’’ or ‘’search’’ and immediately find another one to videochat with.

Chatroulette was born on November 2009, and it already counts one million people in the U.S., mostly young and 75% of them leave their contacts wilfully after few seconds.

Differently from other social networks, it allows its users to ‘’surf channel ‘’ easily, quickly and blindly between all the users of the chat.

Enter the chatroulettes’ world!
