I really like idea of Chatroulette. It is brilliant. It is simple. Fun.

Here are are some of my random thoughts…

Chatroulette: Too many perverts and boring

There are a couple of problems with Chatroulette.com.

First, there are too many perverts.

There is about 30% to 40% of perverts. It should be called D**kroulette. No clue why - but I guess people can learn anatomy.

It is boooriiing…

Even though I like excitement of meeting new people, chatroulette.com gets boring after few minutes of nexting all these d**ks and advertisements for weird sites.

What about Chatroulette Clones?

A lot of sites tried to clone Chatroulette, but majority of them are making mistake and destroying the most important things about Chatroulette: that is excitement of meeting random people and simplicity.

Excitement of meeting new people is very important

We believe that key concept of Chatroulette is excitement of meeting new people. It is quite different experience when site asks you what kinda of people you want to meet and you are not getting surprises. What is the point?

It must be simple

Few chatroulette.com clones added quite of a complexity on top of original chatroulette.com. The perfect example is Chatville (facebook application). The idea is cool, but there are ~100 different badges to chose from, four different tabs, and chatting with friends (WTF - like I cannot use skype). That reminds me of joke how Germans make pizza: sausage tastes good, banana tastes good, coffee is also good - lets put all together on pizza and it will be super good pizza. Not.

What is Facebook Social Chatroulette?

So our idea is simple: lets take Facebook to verify identity of users (no perverts), have some very simple game (just talk to people from different countries and you get a flag - Foursquare concept) and merge it with Chatroulette. 

So:

Facebook Social Chatroulette.
