OMEGLE.COM

So what is Omegle.com, its a site that is in some ways quite similar to Chat Roulette, however it has subtle differences, with you also being able to random chat without the use of a webcam, which you cannot do on Chatoulette.com anymore, not sure why really.

Although I am unsure how many people use Omegle.com it is very popular, and has good reporting options, although there was the odd rule breaker on there when I looked.

I find it interesting how webcam chat has evolved over time, although there has still got to be worrys about some of the content shown on these kinds of sites, unfortunatly the owners of these sites can only do so much to stop them.

Noesis Chat

Hi guys

It seems that lycos chat is indeed closing on the 1st only to become Noesis chat !

Noesis Chat

Noesis Chat

Dear User,

We are delighted to inform you that we have successfully reached an agreement with Noesis Systems Ltd. for continuation of the existing chat service.

You may have heard that our parent company LYCOS Europe N.V. has decided to discontinue many of its services.

The Chat business is one of the services which are scheduled to be discontinued by LYCOS. For this reason we will be terminating your LYCOS Chat contract on 1.3.2009.

Should you wish to continue using the existing product with the new provider, you will be asked to sign new Terms and Conditions when you sign on the chat.
As part of this agreement, your existing chatname and account content, for example your Logbook Messages and photos will remain.

Should you not accept the Terms and Conditions for the new provider by 1.3.2009, we will close your account and delete all of the content and access rights stored in connection with your Chat account, based on the statutory specifications.

Yours sincerely,
the LYCOS Chat Team

So it seems users are going to have to accept new terms and conditions, it doesnt say if the urls are going to change though, as the urls all point to yahoo chat, it should be interesting to see what happens on the 1st of Feb.

Lycos Chat Closing ?

Hi there

Its been on the grape-vine for a while now that Lycos chat could well close,  it does appear in statements made by Lycos a lot of Lycos services will stop Feb 1st., including forums and message boards. 

Even tripod is going which gave web sites free hosting, which takes me back to the days of designing my first website, it was crap but it was free lol !

Having looked at lycos chat Ive noticed a different name has appeared on the site, so I am unsure as to if someone else has purchased the chat rooms.  So it may well continue for the time being

Lycos chat is somewhat dated now, and hasn’t been updated for many years, so its little surprise it may well close, a lot of lycos services have suffered from the same problem, little change and little innovation.

Will be interesting to see what happens on Feb 1st as Lycos was one of the big hitters at one point.
