CB Radio mode

[gregglind]

Goal:

• live, interactive, random co-surf-roulette
• emphemeral community, much like CB radio in the 70s, or HAMs

Reskin with these features / assumptions:

• you are assigned to one of 2^n (say, 64) channels, at random. Number of channels grows as more people join (think join/split)
• ephemeral group of co-surfers. See their top / most recent link
• 'push tab' mode disabled / asks permission.

Eventual:

• 'groups' that have have shared interests... use case: I would co-surf with people from Metatfilter

Hard question:

• is this the same as Delicious?

Or: is it the same as Chatroulette, with all the problems that suggests?

We do have some simplistic support for something like this in the TogetherJS hub already.

You see problems, I see possibilities :)

I would say, it's most like 'stumbleupon' or a chatroom.

This would also be a fork, not a replace.

We can also allow other services to curate the group of people you might be randomly interacting with. For instance, a Mozillian-only group of people, which would have few of the problems that Chatroulette has.
