Ever since chatroulette has been down, my site, http://www.boostcam.com, which I had made as an experiment when flash 10.0 was still in beta and the p2p functionality was just released, has been getting a lot of traffic. I think people think it's a chatroulette clone (it's not). I watch as people wait, in vain, for someone else to join their chat.
I don't really mind their confusion though. Over the past 7 days, I've made around $200 in adsense revenue. It was quite a shock to log in and see that.
Why so? This article doesn't reveal anything new... I think the poster was asking whether Chatroulette is abandoned, since the new version was announced to be running "tomorrow", then "today", and then "shortly"...while it is already several day in this state.
Anything new compared to what? There was plenty of background information in the article, and definitely more info than in the OP's "is this site down?" link to the site that is down. Or was this an "Ask HN"?
They do sure take their sweet time with the new version.
In the meantime we're catching quite a few of former CR users on http://www.blurrypeople.com . Which, ofcourse, is a little
more extensive compared to CR 1.0.
They put up the announcement last week and it said a new version would be released "tomorrow". Obviously, that didn't happen, but it seems like a new version is immenent.
