Chatroulette (NSFW!) is one of the latest buzz as only the Web can produce, and a very interesting one ! Oki, let's put aside all the crappy and insane content you can randomly find on Chatroulette. This is scary, I hope it will disappear as the service grows (and it grows fast !) and the site will filter more (still, you can just skip it).

So, i've tried the service, and in fact you can't make it more basic: it just connect you to a random person with whom you can interact via a webcam and a text chat. You don't like the person in front of you ? You just skip to the next one. That's it.

During a conference in 2006, Marc Simoncini, Meetic founder and CEO, was asked what it takes to build a successful start-up. As usual, he answered with a funny but insightful explanation : to succeed requires such an important amount of known ingredients that having all of them simultaneously is nothing else but chance.

Simoncini is definitively right. We all know the key ingredients to build a successful start-up : a good positionning, a killer product, a dream team, a strong investment, etc. For all these components you'll easily find a lot of literature to master them.
