    Okay that sounds pretty cool and makes a lot more sense from the
time-investment perspective (c:

    Just consider that whatever the physical presentation the software
will need to be compatible with existing chat clients and software if
people are going to call in -- or perhaps a custom Flash-based solution?
If ChatRoulette was written in a weekend perhaps there's some
enterprising young hacker at NB who can whip together the necessary
ActionScript?

    Last month the live video conference with the girl down in
Antarctica was pretty fun.

    The only problem with ChatRoulette is that someone who *wants* to
reach NB can't, it only connects random people. Also most of the time
the couch would be empty and everyone on the other end would have to
keep clicking away.



    That said you might enjoy checking out The ChatRoulette Show next
time they put on a production. I'm friends with Jonathon, the guy who
organizes it:
