Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 429,209 views on Friday, 19 August 2022 our article of the day is Omegle.
Omegle is a free online chat website that allows users to socialize with others without the need to register. The service randomly pairs users in one-on-one chat sessions where they chat anonymously using the names "You" and "Stranger" or "Stranger 1" and "Stranger 2" in the case of Spy mode. The site was created by 18-year-old Leif K-Brooks of Brattleboro, Vermont, and was launched on March 25, 2009. Less than a month after launch, Omegle garnered around 150,000 page views a day, and in March 2010 the site introduced a video conferencing feature.
Comparisons have been made to early-1990s AOL.
