Where chatroulette meets social networking
One day a boy woke up and invented Facebook. Another day a different boy woke up and invented Chatroulette. A few years later, Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and shareholder of Facebook, woke up and decided to combine both ideas. That is Airtime in a nutshell.
How it works
Airtime is Sean Parker's project to turn chatroulette into a live social video network. To get started you authenticate via Facebook, then you can begin random video chatting in complete anonymity. Unknown users are selected based on similar interests or geographic proximity. Your identity only becomes visible to the other person when you choose to add them as a friend. Airtime also reads your Facebook contacts and lets you video chat with any of them, or leave a video message.
More about Airtime
Airtime is a well-built project with a clean interface and an innovative idea: taking the chatroulette concept and making it a social network. Despite the strong publicity behind it, the platform has not yet reached a massive user base, which means you may find fewer people online compared to the big platforms.
What is certain is that, like everything featured on Random World Chat, Airtime is completely free. Try it and form your own opinion.
