Spedia.com allows FREE Location-Based Video Chat Between Strangers while protecting their privacy.
Spedia.com is the first free chat service that offers secure, location-based chat for users. It is a great way to make new friends and meet new people and convert your online relationships into real-life ones without compromising your privacy.
Spedia.com tracks the geo-location of the users and allows them to find random strangers that are located close to them. This way the virtual chat can go outside the boundaries of the electronic communication and can become real-life experience. This is a great way to meet new people and get to know them before you start interacting with them in the real world.
Spedia.com allows users to specify basic chat parameters such as age and gender selections. This will allow interaction among people that have common age, gender, and location.
Once a chat session is established the system will display blurred image of the other party for at least 5 minutes. During this period the image will become more clear and after 5 minutes it will clear up completely. If one of the parties wishes to disconnect form the chat session, they can do it at any time prior to reveling the avatar.
The system will maintain full anonymity between people participating in chat sessions to guarantee their identity is not exposed. Once a chat session is terminated it will not be possible to talk to the same person again unless they provide you with other means of contact outside the Spedia.com service.
The system will attempt to establish chat sessions between people that are relatively close to each others locations, however, the system will never expose the exact location of each person. If the exact location is required, the user has to share this information explicitly with the person they are chatting with.
If you like or don't like the person you are chating with, you can click the coresponding button under his or her picture. With every click that person gets his rating will change. The rating of a person is measured as a ratio between the number of likes and dislikes. The more "like" clicks he or she gets the more yellow the rating star becomes and the more "dislike" clicks he or she gets the rating star becomes more red. The rating star will appear only in the search result next to the person's randomly generated name. If nobody has rated you yet no rating star will appear.
Spedia.com social network likes positive and optimistic people with good communication skills. That is why Spedia.com will reward the "Most Likable Person" every week with $200 payable via PayPal. The 'Most Likable Person" is rewarded based on the user's rating during chat sessions.
If your Spedia.com tab is not active, the moment you receive a new message a notification symbol will appear in front of "Spedia.com" in the tab text.
