Via Mashable comes the Last Exorcism viral campaign on video chat site Chatroulette. This is one of the better ones out there though is showing the trend of how easy it is to use prerecorded video/animations on video chat. Similar to how chat bots took over Instant Messaging back in the day, initially it will be hard to tell if you’re having a conversation with a real person. At least with video, you can have an augmented reality experience which makes it a bit more interesting…
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Someone took Facebook Connect functionality and mashed it together with Chatroulette’s video conferencing interface. So now you have Faceroulette! The only problem? Nobody seems to be using it quite yet. It remains to be seen if the whole appeal of Chatroulette is in the anonymous nature of the service or if services like Faceroulette, Redditroulette, Tinychat and others can gain traction in the marketplace with detailed and niche user options. Could Facebook will be rolling out a similar feature to Faceroulette sometime in the immediate future?
