Start-up SocialEyes on February 28 introduced a service that lets people have one-on-one or group video chats with friends from hot online community Facebook. A test version of SocialEyes made its debut in California at a DEMO conference for technology start-ups and was made available online at socialeyes.com or apps.facebook.com/socialeyes.
SocialEyes was described by some as a more civilised version of Chatroulette, which randomly connected users in vidchats in a service that became known as a stage for bawdy antics by strangero s.
SocialEyes users sign on with Facebook IDs and can connect with known friends or other members of the online community with shared interests. "SocialEyes takes the social networking experience to the next level by enabling people to connect with their networks and meet interesting people who share common interests through face-to-face communication or via video messages," said startup co-founder Rob Williams.
"The Internet has brought us all closer, but SocialEyes takes social networking to a whole new level by connecting you face-to-face with people, not usernames," said DEMO executive producer Matt Marshall.
