  1. – Visit https://geolocha.com/ on your iPhone. What is your initial impression of what you see? Are you immediately drawn to click any of the buttons? Why or why not?

    I was actually pretty drawn to the idea of this mobile site. The chat area is very clean and to the point. I also like how the service allows you to type in a username so it’s not completely anonymous. The button to change the chat location was a little hard to push, but once you’re able to push it, it’s easy to scroll and choose the location.

    – Test joining local and wider area chatrooms (ie: suburb and city level).

    Seeming how I was the only one in my locations, I took the opportunity to enter text into the chat area and notice a bit of a lag. I also noticed a lag when going from location to location.

    – Are you encouraged to sign up for a free trial/free account? If not, why?
    Oh yes! Geolocha is a fresh approach to social media/ chat medians. It makes your location seem like a not so big place once you see people in the same chat space as you:)

    – How do you think the site compares to other similar sites/competitors like Chatroulette, etc?

    Personally, Geolocha is less creepy than Chatroulette and is more personable. It’s somewhat more of a safe place to chat with people near you without having that fear of something unwanted popping up on your screen. Since Geolocha is a mobile specific site it also makes it easier to access on the go.

    I really hope this site takes off! I know I’ll be checking back for people in my area:)
