Chat Roulette - a guide

An internet phenomenon which is freely available, Chat Roulette is a chat forum for people of all ages which was invented in 2009 in Moscow, the heart of Russia. The only thing required for Chat Roulette is internet access from any PC and an Adobe Flash webcam, which lets you view other participants also on the website. The success of Chat Roulette is its simplicity, two screens appear on your computer showing you and the other member in the forum you are chatting to. When the discussion bores you, you click on the 'next' box and speak to another site visitor. Chat Roulette's popularity and infamy comes from the ability of the website forum to allow (sometimes inebriated) users to show off their range of talents, or in some cases to strike up a friendship. Studies show that the majority of Chatroulette users are from America, with France supplying the next highest users.
