Whoa, are Chatroulette users connected directly to each other rather than proxying the streams through Chatroulette's servers? Certainly the former would be more efficient, but if so then it's not as anonymous as it first seems.

Yes, it uses some sort of newish P2P stuff in Flash.

Okay, I don't know about chatroullete anymore. I just came across (on the OP) a girl doing naughty naughty things... maybe this has already been considered, but what if she's not of age? Am I now guilty of possessing kiddie porn? The way current laws are written and enforced, who knows...

No, your fine.

A dick-map! Great! This needs statistics: dicks per square kilometre, dicks per million inhabitants … Edit: There is a surprisingly low number of dicks in this map. Lots of bored teenagers/mid-twenties.

Go to the center of paris. That blob is pretty much all dicks.

Well for the 1 pic that is on the entire continent of Africa... it's dickless, but that guy was well on his way to getting his tackle out.

Yeah, it's called Stratus and provides P2P for flash player 10+

So I zoom in my geographic area and there's these two points on the map. One is this like 60 year old guy looking at his computer. His neighbor however is masturbating. Imagine if it were my neighbor. Guess it's not so anonymous anymore.

Imagine if you were 60 years old!

Chatroulette is by far the most useless thing that has been created on the Internet. I wish I could have the memories of using it erased from my brain, and the electricity it takes to run the site and the computers connected to it back as well.

It seems that you have never been to zombo.com.
