A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Could they put it on GitHub. Let someone else resurrect it.
I mean the concept of the site is exceedingly simple (hence its popularity), so it wouldn’t take much to create something that mimics its features. But, it would come with everything Leif posted about. And it would take years to gain any traction all the while having to try to combat all the reasons Omegle was shut down.
May not be worth it.
Nah a million Omegle clones would be bad, the majority of them would not be operated responsibly.
I assume they already exist to the extent that a half-assed omegle clone can.
I just checked, and Chatroulette is only a few months younger than Omeagle. I’d heard and tried Chatroulette years before I found out about Omeagle, and always thought Omeagle was the clone.
CR is supposedly still up, but I haven’t checked because I’m not ready to see those wangs.
