If you’ve been living under a rock, Chatroulette is the latest internet sensation, where you are randomly connection — webcam, microphone and all — to a random stranger on the web. You have no clue who the other person is, and you can disconnect and reconnect to someone different at any time.

It’s a little bit like mainlining The Internet, especially if you remember the early pre-corporate randomness of the early internet.

Also, it’s got a lot of creepy guys doing very unsexy sexual things.

But this is awesome:

The scuttlebutt is that this is Ben Folds. Which would be cool. But what does it matter? This is wonderful no matter who the man in the grey hoodie is.
