apumpkinpatch.com - Looking for feedback on my video chatting website

apumpkinpatch · #1 05-11-2011, 03:21 AM

I've been building this over the past month and I'm really excited to get some feedback on the site!

I've built several components for the site, a random anonymous video chat, random video chat with Facebook connect, text only random chat, audio on chat...and I have a lot more planned on the horizon. I'm just afraid if i build too much content for the site now since its so new i might be spreading the limited amount of users around too much.

Anyway, it's at apumpkinpatch.com and feedback on the site would really be so helpful!
I'm almost done the android and iOS apps which I really hope will be the key to get some more people using the site!
Thanks for checking it out!

also, if you like the site it would be really really awesome if you would click the "like" button at the bottom of the page on the site. A site like this only really works if there are people on it and even the smallest type of promotions will help immensely this early on in the project!

Nice looking site, the key to success will be getting users to it, promoting it while staying on the right side of the spammer line. iOS support, couple with a decent review on one of the major apple news sites would probably do that. I think that your worry about spreading users thinly is a valid one. It's a pity that the anonymous and facebook chats cant be combined together (as far as i can tell), though i imagine that might be a challenge.

I figured I would keep them separate, because i figure the non anonymous version would be a much different experience than the crazy anonymous experience and some people might prefer one over the other and id like to give them the choice. But I know right now this may be problematic since it spreads people out while the site is trying to grow.

As for as the Android/iOS app goes i'm literally about 99% done development and ive been testing it over the past few weeks. I'm not worried at all about my app on the android market. I'm just afraid apple might not approve my app *crosses fingers*. It would suck wasting my 99$ apple dev fee for them to disapprove my app haha.

Thanks for the feedback
