Remember the old IRC chatrooms that you spent hours in while you should have been doing more worthwhile things with your youth? Well, now you can relive that feeling of ‘what the hell am I doing?’ by checking out Round.io.
It’s not a tricky concept to get your head around. You open the page. You type a message. It appears on the map, showing where you’re based (roughly).
