Yes, it might sound like a handy towel for cleaning and refreshing your tired face, but it's not: Facelette is Chatroulette for FaceTime. Just enter your phone number or email address, hit 'FaceTime Me!' and before you know it, you're faced with a white, shiny, Apple-toting penis. Released to the world only 10 hours ago on Hacker News, the developer admits that the 'entire app is as dumb as ...

Invisible Note is a social experiment/fun site by the guys over at DreamHost. It's like a game of bouncing e-mail: You send out an e-mail to any address @invisiblenote.com; if anyone else sends that address an e-mail too, they get your note, and you get theirs – along with the e-mail addresses you both sent your notes from! I tried an obvious one, and it indeed worked. Now a certain Mr. ...

Remember when I said that iChatr, the iPhone 4 Chatroulette clone, didn't have as many "gross, naked dudes" as the original Chatroulette? Well, I guess I was wrong, because iChatr has been removed from the App Store due to the behavior of several (gross, naked) users. It was probably inevitable that Apple -- with its mission to offer app store users "freedom from porn" -- would find ...

Remember Chatroulette, the faddish video chat service that lets you talk to random strangers? Well, it's got a new best friend: Apple's FaceTime on iPhone 4. Thanks to a free app called iChatr, iPhone 4 owners can FaceTime with other random iPhone 4 owners. Like FaceTime itself, iChatr requires you to be connected to a Wi-FI network. There's no logging in with iChatr, you just jump straight to ...

Chatroulette is home to an eclectic mix of pervs, cops, random people wearing odd costumes and (reportedly) one or two bored teenage girls. And now you can add Travelocity to the mix, in the form of their garden gnome, each time carrying a different "quirky" handwritten message. This one says, "this would be more fun if we were in Rio". How delightful! Travelocity's reasoning here is that ...

Wow, that didn't take long! Chatroulette, the trendy new random webcam chat service started by a Russian teenager, is so popular that a company is now selling "start your own Chatroulette clone" scripts. If you've got $100, CamChat will hook you up with your own private Chatroulette, with extra charges to remove branding and get professional installation. I guess I can see why people want to ...

RandomDorm is a new site that's following in the footsteps of the explosively popular random video chat service Chatroulette, but adding its own twist: it's for college students only. To use RandomDorm, you need a .edu email address or a Facebook account with a .edu address as the primary email. RandomDorm is also limited to the US right now (it's "geotarded," as Lee is fond of saying). ...

Chatroulette, the anonymous video chat service that has captured the Internet's imagination (and free time), is known for wanton nudity and crazy stunts. That's because of the "anonymous" part of Chatroulette. You can be anyone you want, and you can wear anything you want (or not)! However, Chatroulette isn't as anonymous as we previously supposed. A new site called Chatroulette Map has ...

TinyChat has launched a new video chat service that's very clearly inspired by the booming Chatroulette phenomenon. It's called TinyChat Next, after Chatroulette's "next" button, and offers a similar opportunity to chat via webcam with a random selection of strangers. TinyChat Next may not have the same level of wackiness and nudity that Chatroulette is quickly becoming known for, but it does ...

Chatroulette is the hot new site that throws you into a webcam chat with another randomly-selected user, until you hit "next" and move on to someone else. It's become all the rage in the past few weeks, especially with tech journalists, sociologists, teenagers and creepy naked dudes. Chatroulette is not for the faint of heart. You might run into someone dancing, making balloon animals, ...
