Tweet Roulette feature helps Twitter users with common interests break the ice

We posted FriendFury on HN a few days ago and there seemed to be interest in the project, but we noticed users weren't interacting much. The original version only let users choose a few topics they care about and then we showed other FriendFury users who share the same interests. Last night we added a Tweet Roulette feature to help encourage exploration and to help people break the ice and initiate relevant conversations through Twitter.

After joining in (using the Twitter API), you'll now see that we've already selected a person to message and let you know which topic you both share. Just send a tweet asking their favorite musician or show them your new project to break the ice. We think it's a really novel use of the "roulette" style feature, and I'd love to hear HN's thoughts!
