I've not tried it because the site is down, but a requirement for paired users to have something in common - like being a hn reader - works really well for these things! Omegle's main chat is really spammy, but if you add "gardening" or whatever as a requested common topic, you're likely to get an actual conversation.

Fun. Profit. Boredom. Curiosity.

I know many people that go through Omegle when bored and meet new folks. Seems like the same concept.
