Chatroulette is down for upgrades

Chatroulette, a website that came out of nowhere to become one of the most popular, in a matter of weeks, has been shut down.

The announcement on the website reads, “The experiment #1 is over now. Thanks for participating. Renewed and updated version of the website will be launched tomorrow.”

A new and improved Chatroulette will be released tomorrow, but there are only rumors about what the changes will include. Most certainly there will be some sort of system put in place to eliminate or reduce obscene content. A study done on Chatroulette a few months ago showed that over 15% of the website’s users were taking part in “perverted” activities.

How will the developers of the site reduce this type of behavior? That’s what we will find out tomorrow. However, there will probably be an algorithm put to use in order to filter out obscene content, and/or ban certain users’ privileges, or IP addresses.
