While social networks like Facebook and Twitter showed us the potential of connecting with friends and fans, we have forgotten the attractiveness of adventures and randomness, everything has to be controled by the users, only relevant content is allowed access to our attention, not to mention the privacy issues, we are afraid of things and people we don’t know.
Chatroulette proved otherwise, if you haven’t heard of it it’s a video site that connects you to random people’s webcam on the net, if you don’t like it then switch to the next person, it has gained traction among users. This randomness, this adventure is what the Internet was for when it first emerged, connect you with anyone anywhere possible, without restrictions, It’s especially good to kill time, and we all have time to kill if I may say.
Most websites and applications are designed for certain user scenarios, rare are they designed to explore the world, I’m expecting to see a trend with more applications designed for adventures.
