Chatroulette
Chatroulette is an online chat network that links random individuals for webcam-based interactions. Website visitors set up an online chat (audio and video). Any user can exit the present chat by starting a new random connection. Tenovsky chose "chat roulette" as the name after watching the film "Deer Hunter" filmed during the Vietnam War in 1978, in which the captives were forced to participate in a game of Russian roulette. The service randomly pairs its users and enables them to view webcam feeds of other people on the site while they enter comments on each other.
Ternovskiy created this website on an old computer he had placed in his bedroom at the time. Ternovskiy stated in 2010 that the site initially had 20 users and then increased in scale every day for a period. He explained that he did not market or publish his website anywhere; in fact, individuals began to talk about it, and word of mouth information gradually spread over time. As the number of users increased, Ternovskiy was forced to update the entire code to keep up with the demand, which he described as the most difficult aspect of the project. Although the service has grown, he continues to write his own code. Ternovskiy asked his old friend Vlad Kostanyan for help, and he was able to help him with some incidental business.
Background
Since the end of 2009, Chatroulette has become more and more popular. This is a website created by a 17-year-old Russian who hopes to be able to communicate with anyone in the world through a camera at any time. It boils down to the following: if you have a camera, all you need to do is visit the website, and then you can talk to anyone else who is also logged into chat roulette. If you don’t like this person, just keep browsing until you find someone who suits you. It became very popular due to extensive media coverage of the floor in February 2010. Be careful, you never know what kind of webcam you want to view.
In February 2010, at any time only a few months after the site was launched, approximately 35,000 users were using Chatroulette. The inventor of the site, Andrey Ternovskiy, estimates that as of early March, the site had about 1.5 million visits. According to a survey conducted by RJMetrics, about one out of every eight spins on Chatroulette produces "R-rated" content. This part of the service has been satirized by spoof shows such as "Daily Show" and "South Park", so nudity has become a notorious part of the site. Ternovskiy appointed Australian software entrepreneur Andrew William Done as CEO of Chatroulette in the spring of 2020.
Done previously developed companies such as Basic Systems in Sydney, Australia, and served as the CTO of a number of technology start-ups, including London-based Goodlord. Between 2019 and 2020, the number of Chatroulette users more than doubled, mainly due to product changes launched in the spring of 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the world. Due to a major renovation of Chatroulette in June 2020, which will include new features and a more reliable and modern platform, the number of users is expected to continue to climb.
