ChatRoulette generates one-on-one webcam connections between randomly chosen strangers

From NYTimes:

"ChatRoulette is a new website that brings you face-to-face, via webcam, with an endless stream of random strangers all over the world.

The site, which gets about 20,000 users on a typical night, generates one-on-one Webcam connections between you and another randomly chosen user. The results are occasionally serendipitous, putting you face to face with an interesting person from another corner of the planet. More often though, the site is reminiscent of those old anything-goes AOL chat rooms, only with video. Let’s put it this way: Parents, keep your children far, far away."
