Chatroulette: not as creepy as it sounds.

I'm assuming you've heard of chatroulette, if you haven't, then you might live it a whole. Thats just my honest opinion. But anyways, Chatroulette is just another social network that connects you to other people, the catch though is that you don't know the people you are being connected to. The way the website works is you log in, and as soon as the computer recognizes the webcam you are connected with a random person from anywhere around the world. As a warning, sickos do get on the website and use the website as a means to pleasure themselves in front of millions of people, just beware.
When I first heard of it, I was instantly weirded out by it, but last week during art class when we had a substitute of few of my friends and I used my laptop and talked to lots of people across the world, here are a few.

This is David, from Ireland. He is 19 and a cyclist and we all discussed Van Morrison, Bono and Prom(he called it Pram).



I don't remember his name, but he had one of the most honest and creative greetings we're ever come across on the website.


As long as you are aware of the possibilities of naked men, then chatroulette offers a wide array of entertainment and cultural awareness, just don't do it by yourself, a group of friends is much better.
