Chatroulette

I had the opportunity to check out Chatroulette, a new chat service that allows you to chat one-on-one with random users with webcam and speech. It's not an entirely new concept; it's more like an amalgamation of various existing online chat applications.

Anyway, observations are going to be in point form because I'm too lazy to type out a coherent review:

• There is a strangely high proportion of Brazilians.
• Whenever you see a group of guys in the background, you can pretty much expect them to be college-aged kids with nothing better to do, and you can also pretty much expect racist jeers and lewd comments. There is a 99.99% probability that these kids are white and American, and a 100% probability that they are ignorant idiots.
  
• Sometimes people pause half a second longer before they "next" you, and the slight beat means that they were assessing you instead of just blindly hitting the "next" button", and it also means you failed their assessment.
• Way too many people jerking off. But I'm sure you knew that already.
• Almost the best way of making sure they don't 'next' you, at least not immediately, is saying "HI" out loud.

That is all for now.

Oh yea - I got a sweet social media internship: what upppppp! :D
