Slashdot Discussions Now Include Roulette Video Chat

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday April 1, 2010 @12:39AM from the let's-keep-this-rated-pg dept.

It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce the latest updates to our discussion software. We've been paying a lot of attention to what other websites have been doing in the space, and as we are only too happy to steal good ideas, from now on all Slashdot stories will now be accompanied by a Roulette-style webcam video chat. In testing, we've discovered that Slashdot users are amazingly likely to engage in informative, troll-free discussion when presented with the video image of one of their peers. This new addition to Slashdot nicely rounds out and improves the discussion experience for all users.

I always read Slashdot with my cock in hand, so I suppose this means that Cmdr Taco actually read that reader survey form I filled out last year.
