OMG-Ready Co. Announces Keep 99.9 % WEB CAM Revenue

[JR]

basically, it seems to be like this.... this guy downloaded a free copy of the bot at alicebot.org. somehow, somewhere he get traffic to some version of it to understand how it works and how to improve its ability to talk to users (which it does very poorly). probably did things like make an IRC interface for it so its talking to people somewhere like that. then he created an admin interface to help it answer questions, give suggested answers, different variations etc. and tried to correct it as much as possible so the conversation seems somewhat real.

now he seems to believe that he can use it as a substitute for live video chat if you just record clips of girls to make it look like they are interacting in some way with the user while the bot talks.

first problem... live video chat is about relationships. this guy has absolutely no concept of live chat and how it works. its a business built on repeat business because of those relationships.

no one is going to have a relationship with a bot.

second, fraud is a huge problem with live chat. it can be managed... but it is a serious problem. with a paysite, an user will make one transaction per month. with live chat, you can have an user making 3 transactions per day. he has 6 months to charge ALL of them back. so stop and think about what it means when 2-3 users chargeback 100 transactions and how that can skew CB ratio's.

now imagine what chargebacks would be if they are using a fake bot and trying to pass it off as a model!

not only that.. but EVERY user has a legitimate reason to charge back.

your bank will shut you down. epoch, ccbill etc will shut you down quicker... if they even let you get so far as to have a live site with them doing the processing.

.

Exactly. In fact if most sites understood this concept they would retain better. That is the key... relationship.
