The developer of Chatroullette is working to restrict sharing of location information. “There is a certain level of anonymity on the Chatroulette that Chatroulette Map takes away, but I plan to add something to my site to allow them to still hide their whereabouts,” Andrey Ternovskiy told the New York Times Bits blog.

The Chatroullette site is basically a random chat site (with a lot of adult content). I’ve not visited but I did listen to Leo Laporte when he visited. Now comes ChatrouletteMap which maps some of the chatters. Because the app basically connects the pairs chatting it also exposes the IP addresses, so they are mappable.
I guess everything that can be mapped will be.
