Russian Internet Roulette: fantastic success of a 17 years old
Today I’m going to tell a freshly baked story about a 17-years old founder of something that Internet Guru John Reese called “the internet sensation”.
“The Holy Grail of all Internet fun”, ” the biggest internet sensation since Youtube”, – these are the feedbacks from the Chat Roulette – a video chat, where you can randomly meet face-to-face whoever – variety of people from different parts of the world. Once you enter the site, your webcam is activated and by pressing the “star” button, you find yourself with a random person staring at you. You have only a few seconds to start voice or voice communication or press the “next” button to see someone else. You can be rejected by several people after they see your face – be prepared that experience in ChatRoulette can be very frustrating.
It doesn’t always has to be a face, so parents, keep away your children from this site – you never know who or what your child can see.
In the interview with John Reese the 17 year old Russian student Andrey Ternovskiy, the founder of ChatRoulette admitted that he did not persuade any business goal by doing it, apart from curiosity and just have some fun by communicating with different people when you get tired of your surroundings. For now, only Google Adsense 4 links cover all expenses of running the service and the possibilities of monetizing the resource is under investigation now. According to Andrey Ternovskiy, he is not sure what exactly ChatRoulette is about, but it’s sudden popularity is fantastically growing, from 300 per day in December to more than 20 000 for now!
