Camfrog

The possibility of discovering new people is not a feature you will find in traditional instant messengers. If you wish to chat with strangers and make new friends, you should join at least one chatroom. This is the kind of functionality that Camfrog has to offer. The application gives you free and unrestricted access to numerous chatrooms, in which you can socialize with random people, from all over the world. What's more, Camfrog provides full support for voice and video chat.

It should be fairly obvious that you need to create an online account to use this application. Fortunately, it takes only a few seconds and it can be done on the application's desktop user interface. On the surface, Camfrog looks like any other IM application you are used to. Contacts are displayed in a list, on a compact user interface, on which you can also find all the controls you need to change your status message, search and add contacts and, of course, for joining chatrooms.

When it comes to chatting with a contact, Camfrog is not any different from other instant messengers. You can exchange text messages, make voice and video calls, send and receive files and so on. Camfrog's excellent chatroom support is what makes it different from other messengers. You can browse through countless chatrooms on separate windows, on which they are neatly organized by spoken language, topic and other criteria.

The best part about Camfrog is that all users can chat in public chatrooms with their webcams and microphones. Of course, users may speak into their microphone one at a time, to avoid chaos. When you join a chatroom, you will see all other participants in a list, on the left side of the window. Selecting a user will display his or her webcam feed, along with options for adding the user to the contacts list, initiating a private conversation and more.
