Chatroulette might be all about depicting a random array of topography (if you know what I mean), but a new hack called Globe Genie gives you a peek at a whole new kind of peak: random views from around the world, via Google Street View.
Globe Genie was developed by MIT grad student Joe McMichael, who describes the inner workings thusly to the Guardian: "Globe Genie generates random latitude and longitude coordinates within several pre-specified rectangles around regions that have Street View imagery. It then queries Google's servers to determine whether the point is valid. If not, it repeats this process until it finds a valid location."
