Congrats @kikischirr! It seems like a lot of players have tried the live video space and haven't had much success (Meerkat, Blab, etc.) with others struggling to be truly mainstream (Facebook Live, Periscope, Houseparty). What are your thoughts on the video space and how do you see WeKiki fitting into the mix?

@ryabrams I think the live video space is actually a rather ripe fruit--there have been a lot of interesting players but not a breakout hit. People want it, but haven't found it. I see WeKiki as being most similar to HouseParty--where friends go to hang out. The big difference (besides not being mobile) is that we aren't a walled garden. You can meet strangers on WeKiki. In fact, you're encouraged to interact with strangers regularly on WeKiki. It's the point. WeKiki: Where Strangers Become Friends. ;) Thanks, Ryan!

You have so many evangelists on Twitter! Connected with a few over the past couple of days. I'll certainly have to try WeKiki. Coming from someone who missed his chance to Blab 😁

With increased prominence there's a risk of trolls, as happened on Blab. I think you've given that some thought, and perhaps you can share a bit on how you plan to combat the trolls? Also, hugely impressed that you took matters in your own hands and made it happen, @kikischirr! 🙌

@mrolovsson Thank you! I am so happy to have this community back. We feel the best defense against trolls is a good offense. We have room block features and encourage community members to participate actively in protecting the space. We also require Facebook login, which has many benefits to community building.

@kikischirr sounds good! Btw, time to change/extend your PH tagline to include WeKiki 😉

The Shadow has many friends and even more enemies. Blab was a place where they come to hang out with me and spend time sharing things from Bitcoin ATMs to what the weather is like in the UK. We had some amazing times and started shows and did some life changing things. We actually all became family and friends in a group that spanned the globe. We have an eclectic group of friends from all over the world, Sausage in New York, Gabe in the South going walking, Pretto inventing things, and of course JS Gilbert keeping it hilarious. I made some amazing friends and always look forward to whatever insanity they are going to come up with next. From shows to social support and hangouts, the entire experience was transformative. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and blab went away after a year. A lot of people stayed in touch and we kept things going, but it was not the same. Along came WeKiki and really brought it all back. Kiki brought us back smiles, laughs and a platform to let the good times roll, and I cant wait for things to get back to the way they were, amazing times with amazing friends. I love the WeKiki platform, still in its infancy, because this is a place where we can hang out with old friends and make some new ones. Looking forward to hanging out with you and really excited about the platform!

Congrats on the launch, excited to see where this goes. I liked Blab a lot too, and I love the changes you've made to try and build something that will (hopefully) be more sustainable.

Never used Blab, so looking at this with a fresh perspective. I played with Wekiki a little bit in the last week. It's definitely a lot of fun and runs really smooth. Love the idea of creating a room and calling it 'focus group for XYZ' and get immediate responses. I could see this platform being huge for people doing some ideation or even Startup Weekend competitions with surveying. Personally, I would love to see some private chat rooms as I found it easier to set this up and it seemed to use less battery than a google hang outs. I see more use cases for 'entrepreneurs only' product hunters' ect. I would like to see this integrated with a Reddit AMA as I see the set up just sooo much easier than other applications. Overall, great job Kiki with Wekiki! I like it a lot and hope to use it for bouncing off ideas and getting some customer surveys in!

@danny_mcdonald You know, I had never thought of it for quick product focus groups but that does make perfect sense. We should idea-jam sometime, Danny. I'd love your opinion on a few other things, too! Thank you!
