I am selling social interaction

I was going to write a few paragraphs about how dumb this is -- how I can't imagine an interpretation of it that didn't bother me, because if it was an earnest enterprise than it's doing a bad job of selling itself and unintentionally disparaging the completely valid need for social interaction as a service (e.g. suicide hotlines); and if it was meant to be a critical performance art thing, then its the equivalent of yelling into an echo chamber.

Then, I realized how much I was thinking about this silly little thing, and I decided it was worth appreciating anything that made me think a bit more seriously about what I spend my money (and time) on, even on lazy Sunday mornings.

I thought about something similar, like a Chatroulette, but in the real world.

I imagine it would work like a restaurant, on entry you would get a list of people to pick from, with their backgrounds, and you could choose to join someone for a meal or wait for someone else to come. And vice versa, you could say which people do you want to join you.

Services like this are needed, and useful. Current offerings are weird and weirdly expensive.

(http://rentafriend.com/) is probably the most well known, but has a steep membership fee and costs per friend on top. I guess that's useful.

A site could make some money if they defined services, and allowed people to offer those services for money, and provided some kind of protection and safety advice. They'd skim some money off somewhere.

It reminds me of the Monty Python conversation menu:

The controller is the best part!

I wonder what his display is like? Is it timing the things that take time to happen?

isn't that basically an escort service?
