The total anonymity of chatroulette and the shock value of seeing random cocks makes it much more risky and exciting. FaceRoulette is taking an awesome concept and making it too safe to be successful. Sorry, just calling it like I'm seeing it.

I wouldn't consider random cocks "risky and exciting". In fact, that totally turned me off from chat roulette. Getting rid of cocks makes this potentially more interesting and hopefully more successful.

ChatRoulette is no fun, imho, because I don't want to see people jacking off or talk to random 70 year old men. (I tried it two days ago with a friend.)

People who use ChatRoulette say "I'm used to seeing guys jack off." (not just my friend, everyone I have talked to says it) That's a phrase I never thought I'd hear- nor something I want to hear. I wonder what they will say about this site.

I'm sure that the makers of FaceRoulette are perfectly okay with competing in the 1% market niche of non-cock oriented videochat. The 99% cock oriented niche can be left to ChatRoulette; it is only fair, they are the first to think of it, and first to lose their pants.

The popup for facebook login is annoying and is caught by ad blockers

Which is odd since all the other fb connect logins I've ever encountered use a lightbox overlay type form.

If you're logged into Facebook it shows a lightbox for FB Connect, otherwise it shows a popup.

Holy shit, someone just built this?! I just posted this as an idea I hoped someone would steal... -- Oh, I see via the whois records that it was not, in fact, registered today. Oh good, the world is not insane...

This was actually built by someone at Reddit

So by proxy it's built by an HNer.
