#22If the thought of voice chats with randomly selected strangers didn't terrify me slightly, I think this would be an awesome idea. For the more out-going among us, can imagine some cool conversations and ideas coming out of this
Slightly? I opened the page before completely processing the title and panicked like a boy forgetting to close his porn before bringing his laptop to school. Don't just invade my personal space like that.

Fully agree. If this was a text first, voice if you want thing that would be much nicer and accessible too.

yeah, what about people who cannot talk?
What would you propose? Video? What about people who are invisible? Just because you haven't seen anyone as such doesn't mean they don't exist.
He probably meant text. Which is what I had in mind when I asked the question too. Text is way cheaper than audio and you can opt in audio after an text ice breaker.

Hahahah same exact experience here. Clicked the tab and it was like touching a stove as my brain caught up with the title - noped out immediately. Now reading through comments while trying to work up the guts to try it.
Edit: I did it. I spoke with three people and it was really cool actually; thanks for sharing this.

... really dare not use this service, might stumble upon some guy who just burned 5-10mil of VC money, which would feel very awkward.
I honestly have no idea what I'd talk to someone who burnt more money than I'd ever have in my life about
