Fact is, meeting new people is hard. Airtime forces you to connect with Facebook, so anyone you meet knows exactly who you are. Which makes using Airtime hard. At least Chatroulette introduced a fun element by letting users stay anonymous.

In order to use Airtime you have to willingly introduce yourself and strike up conversation multiple times per hour. For many people, this is their worst nightmare. Quite frankly I'm happy interacting with my existing friend group (via real life or virtual means) as well as meeting a new acquaintance every now and then. I don't need to meet hundreds of new people every week to satisfy my social needs.
