Yes, I’m talking chatroulette.com<\/a>. What else could it be? The low-tech, random and slightly exciting way to see what people all around the world are up to via the now ubiquitous webcam. I’ll be very honest with you – I had a look because I’d seen many many posts saying how many people were up to naughty things…. that’s kind of exciting, especially when you consider the simplicity of the site – and the fact it’s dressed up as nothing more than a way to talk to people – and people – inevitably do a bit of everything when presented with that degree of freedom.<\/p>\n

\"WTF!?\"The internet, as well all know, is for porn<\/a> (safe link btw). But chatroulette really isn’t, despite what you may find on a five minute browse of the site. The invitation to ‘start a new game’ lets you in on the sites success, the sites secret if you will. It is a game – and it’s any game you want to play. How long until I see three drunk men in a room laughing? How many willies do I need to see before I see a face? How many people frown before moving on instantly? It really is a lesson in the ‘I want it now’ nature of the net – an anonymous way to instantly decide if you want to connect, ignore, insult or ‘connect a little more’ with absolutely no consequences. Well, unless you get caught by this dude<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So today, my score is: 19 willies, 7 conversations with an actual person, 12 groups of teenagers (boys & girls) and a sign asking ‘if you want to see me cum just smile’. I frowned. I like chatroulette, long may it continue without interference, without silly things like ‘design’ and most importantly as a little window into what we’ll all do if left to our own devices on a broadly anonymous web connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
