Andrei remembers the day he woke up famous. He then turned on the computer and saw dozens of articles and reports on Chatroulette.com in various media. Andrei shouted and called his mother from the kitchen. She looked at the computer screen, started to get nervous, did not understand anything, and asked why he was not going to school.
Andrew complains about the Google AdWords service, which never paid him money. At first, his Moscow address was verified for two months, and then he received a letter that the payment could not be made to a user who was not yet 18 years old. As a result, a week ago Andrei removed an advertisement from the site.
Ternovsky says that he has now changed his mind and is no longer going to sell the service, but is looking for investors for it. Moreover, there is no shortage of investors, and offers come from all sides, it takes a very long time to meet with all potential buyers.
Andrei’s return ticket to Moscow is dated mid-April, but he says that if fate makes you, you can remain forever in the States.
