| − | Starting up 2010 there is a new trend in the chatting behavior using the advent and also the "mediatization" of the random chat company. However this provider was not the first for the market, in fact another chat service was already there since this year.
| + | Content removed |
| − | | |
| − | But what distinguishes the brand new one was the make use of webcams allowing users to randomly chat with the other without any enrollment or login; almost all what is required is simply go to the web site, accept to show on the webcam and there you go.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The idea was fast to grow in recognition, it suffices to look at Google trends for the key phrase "random chat" and note how the growth was exponential in a very short time. The level as given by Google trends is between 10 and 20.

| − | | |
| − | On the other hand the keyword "no enrollment chat" started to obtain momentum since Q4 2008 with an index ranging from 5 to eight.

| − | Really, it tells which internet users prefer simple to use web site, especially for those who do not intend to make long-lasting relationship. So the mysterious facet of the randomness and also the visualization of some other person have attracted people. The mere thought of "who might be the following person" provides the user a solid impulse to get what is concealed behind each click of a button.

| − | However this comes at a cost. During theory communicating with random individuals who might be around the world is actually appealing, the reflex of pushing the "next" button makes the experience completely pointless. In fact you are able to rarely talk, because you are always driven by the feeling to learn who is following. Besides the anonymous aspect of the program makes it open to all type of "perversions".

| − | Me and my partner to perform a small study. So one early evening I opened a pair of these random chat services and tried for over 30 minutes to each to talk to someone..
| |
| − | | |
| − | The outcomes on both were very similar, when I expose what I found, I would like first to create some definitions which are useful to the understanding of the figures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Appearance: is when something displays on my screen showing the peer, whether it be a man, female, advertisement or other things.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Duplication: when the same appearance shows more often than once.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Abuser: an individual showing explicit sexual act.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Movie: a suspected recorded video for a individual or others (not stay broadcast).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Advertising: a commercial announcement for a product or even website.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So here are the results: During the half an hour I have noticed around 200 looks, 150 are guys, among them 8 old people (look like 50 or perhaps above), 2 young boys (less compared to 15) and sixty two abusers. There were also 20 looks that were women, 10 videos [http://www.hotxchat.com/ <nowiki>chat with strangers</nowiki>] and 20 ads. The amount of repetition had been 55. The statistics and their percentages are depicted in the table below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Males: one hundred fifty (75%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Females: 20 (10%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Abusers: 62 (31%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Movies: ten (5%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Advertisements: 20 (10%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Repeating: 55 (27. 5%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Along with those data it is very important be aware that the longest discussion I had made was less than 30 seconds before the peer leaves. Those conversations occurred only twice and the remaining it was the peer who is pressing "Next" immediately.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you can observe, although I spent half an hour, I discussed less than about a minute.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This clearly shows that these websites are not outcome oriented; people go there either by attention, or guys looking for girls who are really rare varieties.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally, the majority of the videos or ads were about grownups websites. This means that websites like these are starting to position themselves inside a particular way. Because of this this can drive away most people that are looking for authentic experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Due to this I believe that it probably will not be long before consumers lose interest in these services unless many others come to the with a distinct strategy aiming to favour real communications that happen to be 'decent' and featuring more 'values'
