Zumbl was an online chat service where users could converse with strangers anonymously.[1] Users could "tag" each other on the basis of their conversations, which were indicative of their personality and were reflected in their avatars. Zumbl built users' pseudo-anonymous identities and matched them with strangers who shared common interests.[2]
The website is now defunct.
