During his concert stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday, March 19, singer Ben Folds took the opportunity to dedicate a piano ode to Chatroulette, the website that pairs random strangers for webcam-based conversations.

Recently promoted by Good Morning America, The New York Times, New York Magazine, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Chatroulette - the website that pairs random strangers for webcam-based conversations - has exploded on the internet and has gotten the attention of celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Perez Hilton and Joel McHale. Receiving an average of 500,000 viewers a day, Chatroulette allows visitors to video and text with another random visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection. The program was created by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow.
