As chat rooms go, this one’s quite bizarre. It consists of tadpoles floating about in a cosmic soup, going to-and-fro while chatting inanely. It’s called Rumpetroll (translated from the Norwegian it means “tadpole”), and is the creation of Norwegians Daniel Mahal, Hans Petter Eikemo, Hugo Ahlberg, and Simen Brekken. To use it, you’ll need to be using either Chrome, Firefox 4, or Safari 5. Once you get to the site, type “name: yourname” to give your tadpole a name, then click your cursor in the direction you want your tadpole to swim, and type away to whomever you please. It’s a surreal experience, and yet another way the web provides us to interact with random strangers in an unusual environment.
