    Sad news.

    I tried Omegle years ago close to when it came out and it was fun entertainment for a short while, though I didn’t stick around because one of the issues was that if you ended up striking an interesting and wholesome conversation, you’d never meet this person again and this bothered me.

    Reading its epitaph shows there was a lot of work done on it to maintain it and catch evil users, so I’m much more impressed now.

    RIP Omegle, you were a nice experiment!

      Couldn’t you have offered some permanent contact such as social network profile to remain in contact with that human?
