How did Chatroulette become such a global phenomenon so quickly?
The world is a huge place, and there is not only innovation in the way we use products, but also the way we use them. We want more and better things. It's not about "market share" but "market success" for us, and we want to help build a company that can take us to the next level in technology (i.e. beyond what's possible today, and perhaps beyond what's possible even in the next five years). Our company, our core team, and the products we work on are what are most needed for this to happen.

We have to understand what we are building and how to market it. We have to understand what we are building and how to market it. Our company will be the first to create the best products that do something really great--not simply to "make money".
We are constantly surprised. It's like the old proverb: "There's always more to learn." It's also like the old joke about a guy who goes to school and learns everything at the same time: "I am the master of the universe! All that I need to know is this!" When things are that easy, you're the master of the universe. We know that. So if you take away the skills, and the complexity, from the existing, successful use cases that you know people are already using, you'll be in a different place--and the 'dumbed down' products will do well. People don't like to be told what to do--they like to be empowered. That's why we love the internet. The idea that we would all be better off by 'simplifying' their lives, just so the 'dumbed down' internet would be 'cheaper' and easier to use, just doesn't work for us.
This is not to say that we will stop trying to simplify the world. It's our goal. We just need to make the choices we need to make now.
