web cam roulette

A new website, called Chatroulette, has become popular, since its creation last December. . The concept is basiclly a conversations roulette of web chats. CNET reporter Natalie DelConte, tested the website for a report today. She met only few decent people, but most of her conversations turned wrong later on. SHe mention that one person on told her that "for every one cool person you talk to, you get 25 weirdos of pervert." To me that sounds like a pretty expensive price to pay for a coll conversation.
