My Brand New Website 24year old entrepreneur - Site Review(non poker)

[palmer]

Hello All,

Said I would submit my site for a review, been making it for the last month, its by far finished but its definitely up and running. In my first week I had 2000 Unique Visits, not huge but not small either. Most were through facebook other blogs etc.

Anyways the site is Watch This Cam - Chat and watch the world

It is basically a similar site to Chat Roulette but with places not people. There is live webcams from around the world, Chicken Coops, street cams the works. Each cam also has chat enabled.

At the moment i still have a problem with internet explorer so if you are going onto the site please use Firefox or Chrome,

Also if anyone has any solutions to my IE problem id be glad to hear it. I have posted it on many forums and still have no solution! Simply the cameras do not appear on IE!

But thanks and look forward to hearing from everyone

Seems like a cool idea. On the cams I saw, most of them had nothing happening.

Is it a fun site where visitors just take a look at cams or is there another purpose?

[Laurence]

Yeah eventually I would just categorize the cams in addition to having a randomizer. It seems like a pretty cool idea, but you never know if something like this will become a hit. I think you need at least some good quality cams in hotspot places like La Rambla in Barcelona to see some hookers bashing each others head in, or times square in New York - whatever floats people's boats in this sort of thing.

I think it is a very good idea, really like the premise. But yea, if you could get some in Times Square, for example, that would be a great way for people to pick and choose active hot spots.

Also, if you can get sound, that would make it 2x more interesting.

How did you get all of the video streams?

That's a cool idea.
Most pictures seem to be too wide. And it would be great to add a voting button and to have a list of the top-voted cams.

Thanks all for the responses, I was thinking about catogorizing the cams but at the same time, would it not defeat the purpose of the site?.. There is other sites out there like it, I do agree that more popular cams would be a plus. I plan to just have a huge database of cams

In response to where i get them from, simple just google

Actually just realized that i only put my analytic code on my home page, and i dont want to add it to 250 different web pages anyone got an easy way to do this.

I dont have a footer.php file! just made the template and went from there.

I agree on the voting system or even a rating system! Was thinking of having a buzz wall where if there is something happening in cam say 150 you can just buzz it to the live wall the link or something.

Thanks for the feedback guys got much work to do be sure to check back
