The Best Chatroulette Alternative

Competing Chatroulette Alternative Sites
If you're looking for a Chatroulette alternative, you're not alone. Recently, Chatroulette has seen its viewership decrease. Part of the problem stems from the owner's exclusion of some chat participants. In order to cater to a select group of people, the site has excluded independent commercial parties and other chatters. Additionally, the site has put too much power in the hands of passive aggressive web cam users. The report button has only served to further the self interests of racists and other people bent on making everyone else pay for their shortcomings.
Chatroulette had a good thing and they ran it into the ground. It was the unconventional users that made Chatroulette what it is today.And its sensational material created free advertising for the company on mainstream media.
But sometimes a good thing is brought to a premature end, even by its own creator. Anyone remember the great social networking site Friendster?
Following are some of the most popular web cam sites competing for Chatroulette's dwindling traffic.

Tried about half of them. Chatfe is pretty different and cool. Will never go back to Chatroulette.
