			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.chatroulette.com">Chatroulette.com</a> is a new website that randomly pairs you and a stranger via video and text chat. So, what are people doing with it? <span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p><br/>Chatroulette has certainly brought out its share of crazies, creeps<br />
and c&#8211;k. Seriously. If you haven&#8217;t visited yet you will see d&#8211;k.<br />
Lots of d&#8211;k. But there&#8217;s also a lot of creativity. A new social media<br />
application barely out of the box with plenty of people bumbling<br />
around trying to figure out just what to do with it. Even if it&#8217;s just<br />
simply being goofy.<br/></p>
<div class="smalltitles"><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/9723317">So we made a goofy video:</a></div>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that dogs make people happy. Most people anyway. Especially old dogs with narcoleptic tendencies and silly props.<br />
We took screen shots of the different reactions Roxy elicited from <br/> strangers and created a still-frame animation. Think of it as a time-lapse window into a Chatroulette session.<br/><br />
<br/>

<p><br/></p>
<div class="smalltitles">update:</div>
<p>We said that Chatroullete was new, and people are still trying to figure out what to do with it. But thankfully, it hasn&#8217;t taken long for creative types to get their hands all over it and start doing funny stuff!<br/></p>

<span style="font-size:14px"><br />
Chatroulette was launched in 2009 by a 17 year old. It gained exposure in<br />
February 2010 after being featured on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221;. [source:<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatroulette">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatroulette</a>] We have experienced traffic<br />
of anywhere from 60,000 to 30,000 visitors.<br />
