Do you think this has potential? It just launched so the number of people chatting is not quite there yet.

While the site itself is interesting, I don't like that it posted a message to my Facebook wall without asking or telling me. (I know I gave it permission to but still, I'd like to be notified before that occurs)

I agree we should remove that feature at some point. Let me ask you how is different from how farmville build up traffic.

The site will be great once it reaches critical mass traffic!

This isn't a game, there are no game mechanics built into this. All you do is click the 'Next' or 'Accept' buttons. People will obviously only accept chats with people with an interesting or attractive profile image.

Another issue I find is that I am unable to 'chat' with anyone. It makes me feel like you site is padding with bots that don't speak back to you. They just sit there.

I don't see this site 'blowing' up or even becoming that cool. My recommendation is not to quit your day job. Use your skills on another web site.

This is against the API rules of Facebook, remove it asap.

I think this has more potential than chatroulette due to its lack of anonymity.

The fact that users can be (at least partially) identified by their facebook profiles, should prevent predatorial behaviour.

I would include a three strike policy where your users could denounce rude and abusive behaviour, and after 3 complaints, the accused could be banned from using the application.
