omegle-chat

There are several thousand people who connect to Omegle, a direct page, without the need for an alias to talk to another without knowing anything about it. You can talk by text or video, each one chooses the option they want, either writing what they want or showing themselves.

This anonymous chat puts two people in contact, it depends on them to continue talking, you can close the chat if you see that the conversation is not interesting at all. It depends on one of the two connected people whether the chat is so interesting to stay and be able to talk or to look for another.

The chat was launched by Leif K-Brooks, an 18-year-old American, who launched a chat where he could talk to a random person. It will depend on you and the other person to know more thoroughly, on many occasions you will have to speak in English to play with people from outside.

Omegle does not require registration, it will only ask for the topic you want to talk about if you want and wait for it to connect you, all after accepting the terms of the page. At its inception, the website received no more and no less than 1.800 visits, connecting as anonymous people and testing Leif's project.

In just one month it got the round number of 150.000 visits every 24 hours, which is why it became one of the most visited chat portals at that time. The project was little by little being serious and taking hold over time, although for a few people it was not a pleasant experience.

The decrease was notable throughout the last year, although it was once again able to exceed 30.000 online users already starting this year, 2022.
