Show HN: talkasaur.us

Twilio announced a new in-browser softphone product and a contest to go with it. I figured: - I'd like a Macbook Air - I hate putting on clothes to do a video chat (call me a chatroutette kind of guy) <-- kidding! - Most of the people I talk to are developers, and thus fairly ugly (myself included)

I also love using http://join.me/ for screensharing - it just works. The model of "share a code/URL to join" is a breath of fresh air in the face of "Login with FACEBOOK/TWITTER/G+/OMGWTFBBQ--"

So I created http://talkasaur.us/ - braindead simple conferencing that just works

Because Twilio charges a fee per minute, I'm not opening this up to everybody in the world yet, so you can see more info/screenshots here: http://www.aaronlerch.com/blog/2011/08/08/talkasaur-us-dirt-simple-conference-calling/

I'd love any feedback, ideas for improvement, and especially ideas to monetize the site - if it could even just pay for itself I'd love to leave it out there for general use.

Thanks!
