Chatting with friends is so passe. Let's talk to strangers!

I was tickled to see the new site omegle.com that let's you chat with strangers. What a concept. Omegle was started by an 18-year old high school student from Vermont. That's the great thing about the web these days - anybody can be a player. Although my first use was not all that intriguing:

Find Duplicates of Your Images on the Web with TinEye

I like a new startup named, TinEye. It searches its archives of the web for the original or altered versions of your photos. I asked it to track down one of my photos and it found five unauthorized copies floating around on various sites. (Not that it matters to me, any publicity is good, but I could at least ask for a link back).
