Slashdot Discussion Roulette Chat

Slashdot announces that it is including a roulette chat in a a parody of Chatroulette
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.
It is the same video loop that starts every time, but is well done - if you type something it pretends to have your random partner typing back.
