After heady, early days, full of chaos on the Internet, the situation has settled down into a stable middle age with password protection, tagged photos and user-friendly interfaces. However, Chatroulette has emerged as a silence breaker.
Chatroulette is a social site that ditches the network in favor of random social interactions. Users don't log in or create accounts on the site. All they have to do is find the site and click on the "Play" button. From there they have access to real time chat with thousands of people worldwide.
However, the product requires refinement despite of its potential. The site requires offering, users can talk about their lives with perfect strangers, share a wave and a smile with someone whose language they don't speak. One never knows what is around the corner when they connect to another random webcam.
The greatest danger is to children. It is criticized that Chatroulette's terms of service depicts that no one under 16 can use the site, but there is no sign-up or log-in process to verify the ages of users.
