I can't give Twilio access to my microphone on Lion with the latest stable version of Chrome. So no, I can't really someone someone who cares.

To be noted, it sounds like it's a problem with the current Flash version and Lion, rather than Twilio themselves.

Let me sign up and give an hour (of my choosing) block per week to listen to someone else. I would do it for karma.

Thanks for the feedback! Right now the app is pretty barebones. I can see what I can do to hack together a better user / presence system when I get some time.

Good work! I've had some cool ideas for Twilio projects but so far the pricing has made them all impractical. The Twilio Client is really opening some doors in this respect, being 1/4 the cost of a phone call and a cool feature to boot!

I still hope you have some throttling in place though because 1000 concurrent users will cost you $150/hr...

Thank you for this. The lack of working flash in Lion has been a really PITA.

"There is nobody that cares. Maybe you should be that somebody."

Okay. Waiting for someone to call... ... ...

This is the most inefficient way to rickroll anyone ever

The idea's coming from the right place, but it looks like a serious troll magnet to me...

The 'Call Someone Who Cares' is coming across as sarcastic too despite the original intentions.

As the Reader's Digest once put it (according to Dale Carnegie): "Many persons call a doctor when all they want is an audience". This could save people if done well.
