Zumbl was an online chat service where users can converse with strangers anonymously.[1][2] Users "tag" each other on the basis of their conversations, which are indicative of their personality and get reflected in their avatars. Zumbl builds your pseudo anonymous identity and further matches users with strangers who share common interests.[3] The website is now defunct.
