What does it do?
Essentially, it allows you to chat with complete strangers. Right when you log on, you are immediately dropped into a face-to-face "chat" with another anonymous user, who can be anywhere in the world. Visitors to the website randomly begin an online stranger chat (video, audio and text) with another visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection.
What if you don't like them?
You just click "next" and another randomly selected user appears — that is, if your chat mate does not “Next” you first.
How long do chats last?
Most chats last only a few seconds. The time it takes the stranger to see you, judge that you're worth no more of their time, and click onto their next chat.
So why do people go on it?
Because it's an entertaining and strange experience. The sense of freedom that comes from speaking to strangers in a situation without any rules can be quite heady.
What kind of people use it?
The median age seems to be around 20, and males outnumber females probably twenty to one.
People use Chatchuck to make new friends, learn more about the people they meet, and to show off their talents with video chat in a live environment.
