Everyone is all in a tizzy for this month’s internet Macarena: Chat Roulette [1], where you are automatically connected via video chat to a random stranger also using the site. Which sounds fun, until you realize that this guy is out there.
We hear at Punching Kitty Headquarters have been racking our brains for a way to take the large ChatRoulette user base and strip away anyone not from St. Louis. You know, to see what St. Louisans where using the site which could be interesting…but thus far we got nothing. The best thing about the internet though is that eventually someone else will do your homework and post it online. Chatroulette Map gives you a nice little map laid out with users from Chat Roulette and pinpointed by their IP address! Nerd stuff!
Here’s the upshot: We now have a little peak in to the St. Louis Chat Roulette user! …sadly, but not surprisingly, its mostly dudes.

A little statistics:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
We have 9 users that the <em>Chatroulette Map </em>site revealed.
</li>
<li>
1 out of 9 or 11% was a girl.
</li>
<li>
Another 11% involved a crotch shot.
</li>
<li>
White shirts are popular, as 66% of the users had them on.
</li>
<li>
77% were not looking at the camera.
</li>
<li>
88% were riding solo.
</li>
<li>
Only 11% of them were from Illinois. Sadly the crotch shot guy was <em>not</em> from Illinois.

</ul>
