Awesome idea. Poorly executed design though and I see a chicken and egg problem. How do you plan on solving this?

Thank you. We're just building this for connecting hackers. It seems to be getting attention...approached 100 users in 3 hours. We'll figure something. What's ur suggestion?

1) Chat doesnt work here. Im on Firefox 7.01

2) I see a guy and he looks like hes chatting with someone. So I probably see the wrong stream?

3) When I switch, only the text switches. The video stream stays the same.

In other words: Nothing works.

It works differently. It is not face 2 face chat. It is like you're checking out other people when other people are checking out other people.

If you like them and their project and technology - you write them an email. We'll add phone call feature later.

Chatroulette is good but people don't like to be passed on. There is some negativity that we don't want on our site.

Thank you for your detailed review and feedback.

MVP is ready.

The idea is to connect hackers with an intent of building something cool together by complementing skills.

We believe if this gets adoption - It can double the number of new companies created every year.

We'll love your feedback.

Doesn't seem to work at all for me on Chrome 15 on Windows 7, so I suspect it isn't working for pretty much everyone else.

Please note that - Hireplug facilitates checking out the hackers that will matter to u based on ur project, skills etc.

The video will be served if they're actually active.

if they're not live - you can still send them an email.

I cant use enter to send msg, my name is empty (<>),...
[+] rajan_chandi|14 years ago|reply
It takes name from your email that you enter in the first form. e.g. [email protected] will be presented as <name> in the chat. This helps us associate someone with a semi real identity of the person in the form of email.
