Chatroulette is website that allows for anonymous video and text chats. Visitors to the website are randomly entered into a chat with another user. The users may use video or text to communicate with the other user. At any point either user may leave the current chat and make another random connection.

The site currently gets about 20,000 unique vistors per day and was started by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow.[1]

It was launched in November 2009 but has gained popularity in February 2010 after being featured on “Good Morning America,"[2] the New York Times [3] and New York Magazine[4].
