The founder of Omegle, Leif-K Brooks, has announced that Omegle is officially shutting down. The platform was made by Brooks in 2009 from his bedroom when he was 18 years old.
The idea behind Omegle was to allow strangers to meet online, and discover other people with diverse cultures. The founder mentions that he was not socially active during his college days, which pushed him to create the online chatting website.
The platform quickly started gaining popularity as it was free to use and did not require any sign-up or registration process.
