My feelings mirror yours... I'm actually building a product that I hope can help re-introduce some spontaneity in people's online interactions, as they journey through the web. Still very early stage though: http://getmetaweb.com

Here's a 60 second concept video: http://vimeo.com/52398982

Neat idea. I love the video. How would you recommend creating a video like this? Just get someone good with after effects?

Yep.. and if you can't find anyone, you can hire someone from eastern europe to do it for under $1K.

I've always had horrible results outsourcing dev work, but outsourcing design seems to work just fine.

This seems really cool. How is development coming?

It's in closed beta. I need to add a few features that allow people to locate others, find hotspots, etc before the main release (otherwise you only bump into people on facebook and google)

Probably mid-Jan will open it up entirely as the holidays are almost here :)
