6 Rounds- A Social Meeting Ground For People With Web Cams
This one is pretty interesting. The hardest part of any social network is that you have to already know people (or search for new friends) to be able to get something out of it. And sites like stickam and ustream are good if you want to have your own show, but what if you don’t really have anything to say? I definitely couldn’t do a show that would be worth watching, that’s for sure.
How about something fun?
Well, 6rounds seems to have something just for that purpose. If you’ve got a webcam, you can sign up for an account, and play "rounds", which include things like games, watching youtube video, etc. From their site:
6rounds is a live meeting point. It’s a truly unique, exciting and interactive online environment, offering users a variety of experiences that they enjoy together. Using a combination of webcams, real-time games, social activities and media engagements, we present a wide range of opportunities: from watching videos, playing real-time games, listening to music, facebooking and youtubing, to shopping together and beyond.
6rounds users meet their friends and friends to be, by inviting each other to 1 on 1 Rounds or by joining timed Rounds, where they are matched with other interesting new people based on common interests and share experiences together. 6rounds is free for everyone to join and offers a safe place to have fun with friends and to meet new like-minded people.
It seems pretty interesting to me. I’ll check it out tonight.
