So I was check out some very important stuff on Craigslist today (really, it was the missed connections) and someone had mentioned that they where chatting with an individual in my home town on Omegle and lost the connection, now they where posting a Missed Connections ad up to find them.
I'm a pretty interweb savvy dude, but I had NEVER heard of "Omegle" before... to me this seemed pretty odd. Apparently it is because I'm not a trolling pervert like (most) all of the other Omeglers out there.... I need a shower.
So what is Omegle??
It's a chatbox that links you with one other random visitor to get to know, sometimes too intimately. You'll notice that there are no buttons to log in your Avatar, no User Name selections and no way to know ANY information of the person that the computer has chosen to pair you with. Simple labels such as "YOU" and "STRANGER" keep the creepy, awkward feeling alive for most of the conversation. Just two buttons are used to navigate the chat field, "Disconnect" and "Send"... pretty clear options, so when the 45 year old perv in Omaha asks you to tell him what you're wearing, it's simple to either divulge the fact that you're his daughter and you're wearing whatever he bought you, or go on to your envyingly similar "next chatter" who'll start up the whole a/s/l thing all over again.
Here is where I will post and discuss Omegle interactions I have from time to time... enjoy and feel free to comment. Send me your own coversations, and remember, Trolls are NOT people.
Peace/Salam
