opinbot - that's a funny site. I can't tell if the review of people's twitter feeds is real or satire.

Needs a better explanation of what it is, what it does, and why anyone would use it - think of the end users.

Also, for time-sensitive video chat, Twitter OAuth is where it's at.

Re:Please critique our little website by secos on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @04:49PM (#1162629)
why have any auth at all?

Agree fully on the explanation... like I said it was a test for something else and we just threw it up on the server to see how it worked.

Thanks for the feedback!

Doesn't work so well. I think the guy there wanted to tell me something, but I could only hear his words VERY slow. Like a magnetic audio tape played back at much less than the normal speed.

Then again, who knows how far apart we were from each other, both geographically and from the point of view of the connection.

Cool. So it's kinda like TokBox but without the suck.

Gimme an API and a sense that you'll be around for a while and I'm in. Better still, give me the tools to set up my own server.

And charge me money for it.

We wrote this a while back as a test for another project. Would love feedback!

What is this for / how will it help me?
Re:Please critique our little website by secos on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @05:12PM (#1162709)
Was hoping you'd tell us!

Obviously its a video chat program... question is exactly what good is it? Would love to hear your ideas. :)

Reviews are free, but I charge $ to be a product manager :)

I couldn't get it to work in Mac OS X Snow Leopard with Chrome. I could see myself, but the other box was always either non existent or white.
Re:Please critique our little website by secos on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @04:49PM (#1162633)
the other boxes are other people who did not turn on their cameras or didn't have one.
Re:Please critique our little website by jeff18 on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @05:57PM (#1162805)
I'd consider the lack of that info a bug, unless you are expecting people to deduce that. ;)

It lags a lot. That's really the only problem I see with it. A share link would be cool so it could be like tokbox.

Your Get Satisfaction widget brought up the feedback options for Get Satisfaction itself instead of for your app.
Re:Please critique our little website by danfitch on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @05:42PM (#1162773)
Thanks should be fixed now.
Re:Please critique our little website by lambdom on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @06:46PM (#1162897)
I see a white square with nothing in it.
Re:Please critique our little website by bmelton on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @06:00PM (#1162813)
I don't know WHY it bothers me, but I should mention that it DOES -- the 'square' in the logo is rectangular, and my mind can't get over that.

I'd rework the logo entirely if you could actually, and I don't know when the 'feedback on the left side of the page' became a popular phenomenon, or who started it, but I honestly find it to be extremely silly.

That said, I like the overall look of the site, though it's obviously quite spartan at this point.

Re:Please critique our little website by danfitch on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @06:07PM (#1162833)
Haha, good point about the []. And also thank you for the input on the feedback link.

I really don't like get Satisfaction very much at all.

I prefer email support any day.
