It all started at the University of Texas at Austin, a place that has lots of weird and interesting people to talk to, but everyone's so busy and spread out that it's hard to have meaningful conversations with a person if you're outside their social bubble.

When an engineering student named David Carter wanted to tap into more of the social potential on campus with less effort, he began experimenting with ways to make communication with people in different social bubbles easier. After graduation and many, many iterations, the Viewz Hotline emerged as the best way to combine modern phone culture with social exploration.

Today, the Viewz Hotline is undergoing private beta testing with a single extension for CALLing students in different social bubbles at the University of Texas.
