Want to run your own version of “Chatroulette” on your own website? Get our CamCarousel prototype source!

Since I’ve blogged about our Chatroulette Clone and thanks to the fantastic folks at ReadWriteWeb covering us, I’ve been contacted by people and business from around the globe, whether they could purchase a license of the code including the full source to run it on their own website.
