This special edition is a turnkey script that creates a stand alone
site similar in idea and main feature to ChatRoulette.com .

The resulted site will not be an identical copy (so you don't have to
worry about copyright issues) . Being based on 2 Way Video Chat - a
professional 1 on 1 webcam chat solution, there are some important
functional improvements. A turnkey site based on this script clearly
stands out when comparing ChatRoulette clones and alternatives.
Compare: Why is this script better than regular chat roulette clones?
* When direct P2P connection is not possible due to user network/
firewall settings the streaming is done trough a flash media server.
The site is available to users that can't connect on standard chat
roulette sites because of their firewalls or internet providers.
* Big webcam panels on top of layout, because picture is what's
important on a webcam chat site.
* Sounds when other user enters, leaves and buzz button: very
useful when user is waiting or chat window remains in background.
* Users have the option to login with Facebook and reserve their
username on the website. This allows users to chat with their
favourite username / nickname.
* Facebook application so facebook users can easily access it,
share it and become fans.
* Webmasters can embed the chat interface on their websites
contributing to the viral promotion of the website.
* Chat logs with webcam snapshots - great content for people to
share with their friends (viral content, too). Logs can be commented
(ajax).
* Advanced 2 way random chat filters based on Facebook profile:
sex, location. Users can easily find people they search and avoid
people they don't want to talk to. Filtering is done instantly both
ways. This is a great plus compared to other systems where users waste
time browsing trough people they don't really want to meet or have to
wait for script to bounce unwanted users.
* Many chat roulette clones don't currently work fine and will
never work on active production sites because of amateur developers.
VideoWhisper is dedicated to developing and improving video
communication projects, as it can be seen on this website. This means
real support and further development from experts in this type of
software.
* All chat roulette clones are based on Adobe Stratus, a free
developer service which does not support big commercial projects -
meaning most sites will not be able to generate direct revenue.
Because the chat application implemented here also works with multiple
popular RTMP servers, your site will function even if it turns into a
big money generating commercial business and no RTMFP server will be
available at that moment.
* Monetization: Include high conversion ads directly into the
conversation. Also see AD in Chat , compatible advertisement
management server for chat, that can serve niche online ppv model ads
for chatroulette sites.
