Dating app Hinge rolls out a new feature to reduce ‘ghosting’ ?




https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/dating-app-hinge-rolls-out-a-new-feature-to-reduce-ghosting/

It’s been more than a year since Hinge’s relaunch.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/09/its-been-year-since-hinges-relaunch.html
My bet: Hinge will run out of money and close. In same road as Happn, Zoosk and CoffeeMeetsBagel!
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/hinge

CoffeeMeetsBagel: opens Seattle office, its first beyond the Bay Area
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/coffeemeetsbagel-opens-seattle-office.html

Recently Match Group launched a new online dating application for Hispanics in USA, named Chispa.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/chispa-new-free-dating-app-for-us.html
Social dating is vaporware.

NEW FEATURE: Tinder is testing a feed of real-time updates
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/new-feature-tinder-is-testing-feed-of.html

Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win!

Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

"I've been contacted by many companies, including Badoo," Happn CEO said. "Today my concern is not to talk with my competitors about an exit. Today my concern is to build my company."
That is code for "if it can not be profitable, Happn should be sold asap"

Please notice Tinder is in big war with Badoo, and can not outperform it.

And Badoo also owns Bumble.
Match Group, parent company of Tinder, has a big debt of USD 1.2 Billion.
The Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, LoveScout24 (FriendScout24), OurTime, HowAboutWe and many more!
Match Group does not know how to innovate in the Online Dating Industry.

Happn in emergency. Plans to reboot next Q2 2017 if it can!



"In terms of future plans, the CEO said Happn plans on finding “new ways” to monetise and that the dating app will be releasing a brand new, top secret feature in Q2 of next year."
it means Happn is in emergency as Hinge and plans to reboot asap, but my bet is both Happn and Hinge will be stupid investors' cases of study!

Hinge rebooted as The New Hinge, but ..... where is the innovation?
What is exactly new, different or better in this new approach than what's already available from Match, eHarmony, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish and others?
Perhaps it is the same stuff already available from Match, eHarmony, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish and others, but cheaper!

Tinder statement about spam bots invasion
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/08/tinder-statement-about-spam-bots.html


article: Compatibility: It’s Not What You Think It Is / via eHarmonyBlog
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/08/article-compatibility-its-not-what-you.html

COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".  
 
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
but no one is scientifically proven!  No actual online dating site  is "scientifically proven" because no one can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships -and very low divorce rates- than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal preferences, searching on one's own, or other technique as the control group in a peer reviewed Scientific Paper for the majority (over 90%) of its members.
but no one can show you a list of compatible persons like this:
( for a prospective male customer / sample but calculated with real values)
“Over 1,000,000 million women database, here is the list of the 12 more compatible with you. Notice that woman#1 is the most compatible with you but she could be more compatible with other men right now.
woman#01 is 95.58476277% compatible
woman#02 is 95.56224356% compatible
woman#03 is 95.52998273% compatible
woman#04 is 94.18354278% compatible
woman#05 is 93.00453871% compatible
woman#06 is 93.00007524% compatible
woman#07 is 92.99738452% compatible
woman#08 is 92.37945551% compatible
woman#09 is 92.29779173% compatible
woman#10 is 92.27114287% compatible
woman#11 is 92.19515551% compatible
woman#12 is 92.12249558% compatible”


The only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals (needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between prospective mates.)

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.

Without offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement".


All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.

article: Dating app Happn “perfect for predators” due to GPS technology that shows where you are




The Acting Australian Information Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim said anyone using apps that reveals their whereabouts should think it through carefully.

“The personal information we share online shapes our online identity, and can form a digital footprint that can be difficult to erase,’’ he said.

“Our personal information is one of our most valuable assets, so it’s important we understand what’s collected, who it’s provided to and how it’s used.”

University of Melbourne computer privacy researched Dr Suelette Dreyfus said “people need to pa
use in their headlong rush to social media” because a lot of that “data doesn’t go away.”

Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. It needs to reduce the false positives problem.

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
It is all about achieving the eighth decimal!
With 8 decimals, you have more precision than any person could achieve by searching on one's own, but the only way to achieve the eighth decimal is using analysis and correlationwith quantized patterns.
Without offering the NORMATIVE16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.
