I commend the 12Seconds guys for innovating and iterating a good idea as far as it could go. The public video cam space (ie not Skype/private messaging and not adult stuff) has never gone mainstream despite many people trying hard - and no matter what you might do the fundamental proposition is just not attractive to most people. Facebook has had a similar feature - most people don't even know it. Seesmic video (the original product there) is not worked on. Chat Roulette is really a meme/joke and no where near a proven business. TinyChat has video but it's still semi-private and certainly not mainstream. I actually thought with the front facing camera and FaceTime on iPhone we'd see a shift but it still doesn't seem to be happening. Just like next year is the year for video calls, it still hasn't happened.
