A Review of The Top 50 Chat Rooms
Are you looking for the top 50 chat rooms? Chatting has become an international craze. Anyone with a computer and web cam can immediately talk with someone on the opposite side of the globe.
Chat rooms are usually provided in one of two ways. Sites such as Camfrog allow a user to sign up and talk with multiple users at once. This type of chatting allows members to build a profile and meet others based on similar interests. The other type of chatting venue, roulette chat, is fairly new to the internet scene. Roulette chatting was made famous with the birth of Chatroulette. It instantly become a media sensation.
As technology helps to facilitate chatting on the go, more mobile users are also contributing to the chat craze. We really do live in exciting times and web chatting is only getting better.
Following is a list of the most popular web chat rooms:
Roulette Type Chat Rooms:
Chatroulette
Once the darling of media pundits, this roulette chat site is increasingly losing viewership. Chatroulette was the prototype for roulette chatting. Although the traffic has decreased it is still a great place to meet other people.
Bazoocam
Bazoocam is fast becoming a chat favorite for French speaking web cam participants. It's unique because it often has an equal number of male and female participants.
Omegle
Omegle is fast becoming a rising star in the web chatting arena. Those without a cam can participate in the text chatting but they cannot participate and view the other chatters with cams.
WebChatFan
This site, much like other roulette chat sites, has the standard chatting features. It does have a decent amount of traffic at certain times of the day.
Jabbercam
Jabbercam offers a free script to add roulette chatting to your website. The site has a blurry feature and requires a login name to participate.
SpeedDate.com
Although speeddate.com is not a true roulette type chat, it is still one-on-one chatting. The service is free and the people here are intelligent and more open then other roulette type chats. The service is intended to match people for dating in their local communities.
ShufflePeople
http://shufflepeople.woome.com
Users can choose to communicate with text, audio, or video chat.
CamStumble
Choose between adult or teen chat. This site does require new users to sign up.
ChatHopper
ChatHopper always has a decent amount of traffic and interesting people.
FaceFlow
FaceFlow differs from other roulette chat software in that it has a full screen mode. Finding someone else to chat may be a challenge. Hopefully other chat sites will copy this feature.
FlipChat
This site should have tumbleweeds blowing across the homepage: the traffic is not impressive. Communicate via text or cam.
BlurryPeople
Here viewers are subjected to three excruciatingly long minutes before their chat partner appears completely focused. Wow! Maybe the originator of this software could also devise a way to increase the time it takes to get a root canal.
Google Chat

Gmail users can connect to other users through their Gmail email account. This is not the place to go if you are looking to meet new people.
SpinTheCam
http://www.spinthecam.com/home.php
SpinTheCam differs slightly from other sites because chatters can flirt by sending a virtual gift to their chat partner. The site requires a membership.
