Don't know that I agree with the downvoter. When I had tried Chatroulette after it first became popular it was literally like a 1 in 4 chance you are going to be looking at a dude masturbating. If you are going to go public with a system like this, you have to have an effective moderation system in place for it to even have a chance.

Yeah, to be honest. Branding the product in comparison to Chatroulette is just a bad idea. When Chatroulette first came out, it seemed like a really cool concept. The ability to travel the world from your computer and meet people face to face seemed promising.

Sadly, the inability to moderate the system has left the vast population disenchanted with the service. Branding yourself with Chatroulette will only bring along that baggage and negative opinion.
