Show HN: Tweet A Stranger, my little web experiment
- jcr 16y agoYou really ought to employ some method to monetize this, such as advertising, and then post it on a more "general interest" site like Reddit.
- jcr 16y agoI didn't realize mentioning reddit was so verboten on HN, but it seems some folks here are missing the point. Look at it this way, ChatRoulette is very similar in concept and it took off wildly. Given a mainstream audience, this has the same potential. If this goes viral like its predecessor, then the author may be looking at some very hefty server fees. Sure, there's also a potential to profit from the work, but if it gets popular and doesn't support itself, then it won't last for long.
