Remember Chatroulette? You know, that skanky live video chat service that was more of a portal for pedophiles and freaky dudes who live in their mother's basement.

It caught on like wildfire because of it's unfiltered connections it would provide between two users across the web.

The blogosphere was on fire about Chatroulette and traditional media even gave it 15 minutes of fame.

The only good thing that ever came out of Chatroulette were those videos that Ben Folds, the popular rock singer, made during a few of his concerts:

However, like any 15-minute of famer, Chatroulette has seen its better days and is on the verge of launching Chatroulette 2.

What does it have in store? Who the heck knows, but one thing is for certain, it'll get a second 15 minutes.

Let's hope this time it'll be 15 minutes worth of good content as opposed to freaky, hair dudes that are playing dungeons and dragons in a basement apartment decorated by paneling.
