Very surprised that this didn't launch with a native mobile offering.

Parker asked where the cool stuff on the Web went. It went mobile. People don't want to be chained to their desks to do something cool anymore. It'd be pretty neat to chat with a stranger while strolling the Louvre.

Please tell me you meant while THEY'RE strolling the Louvre. Please. Because if you're using a web app to talk to a stranger while simultaneously strolling the Louvre (I'm not sure "strolling" is what one does to the Louvre) I believe there's something wrong with you.

My specific example was you can get more context about something you've never seen before, potentially getting a personalized tour, before you go.

Sorta like what we're doing now, but with video. Is that scary to you?

Yes, the notion of people using ChatRoulette while they're at the Louvre is scary as shit to me.
