#2While perhaps an interesting mechanic in larger cities, the core feature of this product will ensure minimal adoption in rural towns like mine. User will install, see there are no active chats, create one, never get a response, and uninstall.
Perhaps add the ability to expand your area?

It might make sense to define the area based on population density rather than just geography.

Do it K-Means-style: group users geographically targeting a particular population in each chat. As a bonus you can make some nice visualisations as a result.
(I'm reminded of a friend of mine trying to use OkCupid from Orkney, finding only four people using it within half a day's travel)

It's from the same company.

That's an excellent idea, I was thinking about how to fix this problem. I think starting with a radius of 5 miles and increasing it until users can see the chatrooms from the closest 100 people would solve all that.

Ok, it seems that the update hasn't gone through yet, where it only asks for location now. Should be through soon.
