Comparison
Twos vs Chatroulette
Chatroulette popularized random video chat in 2009: spin the wheel, take whoever shows up, skip if you don't like it. Twos believes a conversation shouldn't be a slot machine. So a call only starts when two people wave to each other first.
The honest comparison.
Chatroulette is the original random-video-chat product, and the model hasn't really changed: anonymous, unpredictable, built around the next spin. It's still running, and it still carries the safety and content problems that come with no real accountability.
Twos is built on the opposite belief: that you connect better when both people chose to be there. You wave, they wave back, and then you have one real fifteen-minute conversation that leaves you lighter.
Dimension by dimension.
