www.chatroulette.pro: Visit our Chatroulette Script Labs!

A quick one: We are pretty happy that as the providers of the original, first and genuine Chatroulette Script/Chatroulette Clone in the market, we got the official chatroulette.pro domain.

With our store available at www.chatroulette-clone.net, we’ve decided to put our labs to chatroulette.pro. Starting today, the pro site will always showcase the latest development version, even if it’s in early alpha.

We hope you enjoy it!

Red5 support for Chatroulette Clone

It’s been little more than ten days, since we’ve release the very first Chatroulette Clone (aka Chatroulette Script) version.

Since the initial release, we’ve shipped six minor updates, addressing many optimizations opportunities and selected feature requests handed in by customers.

Our Chatroulette Clone now supports automatic reconnects (“auto next”), multiple languages including runtime-customization options and a unique-in-the-market way of handling high-load situations.

Today, our development team has started to work on Red5 support.

Red5 is an Open Source Flash Server written in Java. It’s freely available and supported by an energetic crowd of Flash/Flex addicts and RIA professionals.

So why is Red5 support important?

The current version of Chatroulette Clone leverages Adobe’s free Stratus service. This service aids in establishing the peer-to-peer connection, a straight, direct binary data stream between two Adobe Flash Player instances. [Read more...]

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.

I’ve discussed various options with some of the folks who got in touch. Finally I decided to sell an unlimited lifetime developer license, which will literally allow you to do whatever you want with the project – except selling it to others, of course.

You can, however, create commercial websites based on the CamCarousel application and modify it to suit your needs. This includes removing any attribution linking back to us. I believe, this is a pretty fair modus operandi. [Read more...]

The day I coded a (better) Chatroulette Clone: CamCarousel!

If you came here to get the web’s leading Chatroulette Clone script for you to run it on your own web site, you’ve come to the right place. Get it now!

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you might have heard of the latest Internet hype: Chatroulette.

In essence the site is a web cam speed dating platform.

Instead of letting you decide whom you video chat with, it keeps connecting you randomly. At peak times more than 50.000 users join Chatroulette, with an average of 20.000 per night.

The service spread viral and gained so much popularity, that even the New York Magazine and “Good Morning America” picked it up as one of their topics.

Now, some call Chatroulette scary, some even dangerous but most users seem to enjoy the experience.

I gave Chatroulette a try but it didn’t give that much to me. However, given my background in technology and my love for all-things-Internet, I got intrigued by the question what it would mean to build something like Chatroulette.

Say “Hello” to CamCarousel! [Read more...]
