Provided is a method of establishing a multimedia interactive chat room populated with a pseudo-random sampling of available participants. The pool of available participants is defined as the group composed of members of an online community whose user accounts have been reviewed by system administrators for appropriateness of content and consistency between captured videos and submitted biographical data. Results of sample selection are displayed to the requesting user, who can then decide to begin multimedia interactive chat sessions with one or more users, or may select a“reshuffle”option, which results in the display of a new sample of available members. Requesting users can limit the type of persons displayed by selecting filters such as interest based filters. Users are thus provided with the ability to speak with other community members without all participants having to actively enter a chat room website. |
