Chat Roulette — The Next Live TV Phenomenon?

You can’t control it. You don’t always get reception. And there is a lot of inappropriate behavior.

But talk about intimate TV viewing and making.

I would like to see Chat Roulette become a new source for interactive TV production. If you could combine the aspects of Twitter with Chat Roulette, and then create committed channels for people who produce quality content, like in a talk show format, then I think you could then use specific channel techniques to drive people to certain channels during certain times of the day.

I would watch someone, like myself, who could produce interesting impromptu or spontaneous conversations on the one-to-one or one-to-many variety. Then random people could come in and be part of the audience. You would give them the ability to slice up the channels and distribute them through Twitter links and bit.ly urls.

It would be live streaming of a fragmented media, but in this case the fragmented nature of the media is not a negative, and you don’t have to make it less fragmented. It’s on a platform, and that’s as unified as you are going to get. Place it everywhere and anywhere at once.
