Hey, this is cool..I was attempting to create a local chat web application (mobile and regular versions) several months ago, but the reason why I had stopped was the fact that it's hard to make the app seem like it's used if you can only chat with people in your area...So I like the fact that you allow the user to select a location and talk with people other than people just located in your vicinity..it means that a user won't be turned off when no one is available to chat in their area..

I love the intro video that is skippable, I'm going to copy that for my project ;). Maybe you could add the ability to put a picture on your profile, and to make a profile page so you can find out about the people you are chatting with.

Is it possible to increase the range of the circle determining my location to an entire city (or even more)? Great idea.<p>EDIT: by range of the circle I mean radius/diameter.

Neat idea. I tried moving the location to Los Angeles, CA but my posts didn't appear. Is registration mandatory?
