    faces.io – ridiculously simple video chat▲40

    This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome. It’s definitely beta status at best. Audio can get weird—be ready to mute. ;-) Let me know what you think!

I purposefully didn't implement the ability to DM in here, and added moderation and filtering for anything that looks like personal information. Only a global public room exist where there are eyes of others. I built this because I personally wanted a space where I can always come back to, to meet and talk with strangers but also feel…

    New project for on-demand chat rooms▲37

    I created a pet project to see if it is of use and interesting to people. The idea is on-demand real-time chat rooms for trending topics and for personal use. You can go to the main page at www.urshoutbox.com to create your own room then share it across your social networks/email, etc. I created a hacker news specific "shoutbox" at http://www.urshoutbox.com/bLmYAL/hacker-news . If nobody is in there, please be patient and (I hope) people will join soon to start talking. The idea is to have trending topics on facebook/twitter/etc and have chat rooms to get…
