Do You 'Accept' Chatroulette or Hit 'Next'?

Chatroulette is the latest thing for parents to freak out over. Before that it was Stickam, before that, MySpace, before that, instant messaging and chat rooms.

Chatroulette very much reminds me of "The Circuit" in Logan's Run, which took the idea a step further by physically delivering the other person to you. I wonder if Andrey Ternovskiy got the idea from that movie...
The lack of having to open an account and the perceived anonymity (although your IP address is not hidden and is stored by the system for potential later use) often leads to people exposing themselves instead of having meaningful conversations.
