Look, we’re not saying you need to know about five new dating apps that do anything from self-destruct if you share too many pictures to match you based on ancient astrological criteria. We’re just saying here those are.
You’re out. You’re drinking things. You launch a new app called Sobrr that lets you find people around you and send them pictures and messages. But unless both parties agree to “keep” the friendship, everything self-destructs after 24 hours. We mentioned the part where you were drinking things, right?
If you’ve ever wanted to peek into a person’s brain, well... that seems perfectly reasonable. And you sort of can now thanks to this scrapbook-like site where members create photo pages with their favorite music, art and whatever else. Pick your favorite four and watch sparks fly. Or not. Internet and all.
Picture the “Missed Connections” section of Craigslist. Now picture a way less sketchy, way more future-y version of that. Enter: Happn. Cross paths with someone else with the app, and they’ll automatically appear on your screen. If you both “like” each other, you talk. If not, you just start whistling or whatever.
“Are they a DJ or a doctor?”
“How old is this person?”
These are questions. Moreover, these are the kinds of questions you’ll attempt to answer about complete
strangers after seeing their photos. They’ll do the same for you. Then you’ll see if you really
“get” each other. Based on almost nothing.
Since horoscopes are things people believe in, here’s an app where you enter each other’s birthdays and whatnot, and it cross-references your compatibility against ancient astrological sources. Just pretend they’re not ancient instead of ancient.
