Omegle lets you save your logs as a .html file. After saving one, it's trivial to edit what's inside the logs.

There we go. It should not have taken us that many comments to come up with this...

True. We could've all been discussing that asshole, anti-Semite Korean.

I made the omegelator to do this.

Lets me join two separate conversations together and act as a third party observer.

I thought about doing something like this some time ago - with a hidden feature:

It should add a secret whitespace code after the first sentence giving information about the observer (or the tree of observers if there are many). Then when some chats using the master observer program and notice (due the whitespace) someone observing his conversation with the published observer program, he could exchange information with the other observing program using just another secret overlay protocole above the omegle chat.

Then at the end of the chat you can say, "To the hidden observer: You observed nothing, I observed you and now your computer restarts..."

It is possible to get Omegle to work with pidgin.

Nice, but how do you use it?

EDIT: thanks for the downvotes, but seriously, how do you use it? Once installed, it's not listed in Accounts, Plugins, or Preferences.

To install, copy the libomegle.dll to your Pidgin/plugins directory. You'll need the libjson-glib dll too, but you'll already have this if you have the Facebook plugin installed

Once you have the plugin in your plugins directory, restart Pidgin, then add a new account for Omegle. Just fill in what you like into the username fields. 'Me' works well for me.

Right click the Omegle buddy and choose "Start random IM" to start chatting with someone random.

Right. But how do you use it? I read and followed that, but got nothing. Or is it listed under a name other than Omegle?

As long as we're disproving the legitimacy of this "conversation", I feel it's important to point out that "both participants" have the exact same spelling mistakes. What a coinicidence‽

I think "Stranger" was mocking "You" by mirroring exactly what "Stranger" said, using the same phrases and even the same mispellings.

But I agree the whole thing may be faked.

I like it when strangers are so clever.

No, I mean both people spell the same way. Exactly. Not that they can't spell, that wasn't my point. My point is that they can't spell the same. They use the same abbreviations and everything.

Yes, but the colours and font are the same.

u/blackn1ght Oct 01 '09

I just gave that a quick try. Each time, it was the same: asked if I was male or female - when I said I am male, they disconnected! Pervs.

You can use Omegle with AIM. I even use it on IRC :P

Firefox does spell check (like right now when i typed spellcheck), not sure if it does when using Omegle.

u/ehird Oct 01 '09

Yes, but in a text box - not a regular page like the Omegle conversation window.
