Bebo Launches bChat: Matching Up Randoms For Video Chat

Social network Bebo has just launched a new video chat service called bChat, powered by vChatter, to enhance user experience by matching up its 117 million global members for random chat. Think of it as a cleaner, safer version of Chatroulette that matches up and introduces Bebo users based on a variety of preferences including geography, age and interests.

Kevin Bachus, Bebo’s chief product producer, says, “Video chat with vChatter brings the human element to online communication and we think bChat will be a great opportunity for Bebo members to develop friendships with other members they haven’t had a chance to meet.”
