Twine.me: Never Miss an Interesting Stranger
Today, there is hardly a single aspect of our lives which is not present on-line, in one way or another. Your fridge will tell you if you don’t have certain products and suggest where to buy them, high school reunions are arranged over social networks, heck, even sex has a cyber aspect. Lots of human interaction is done with a keyboard or over the smartphone, these days, and flirting is no exception. But there isn’t app for flirting, is there? Well, luckily for your single status, there is, and it it is called Twine.me.
Intertwining Interests
Twine is an app for interaction with other people, primarily for flirting and dating. Its matching algorithm will predict and connect you with the people that are most interesting to you. It empowers you to engage in conversation and flirt. If you are at loss for words, it will offer you some topics that you can talk about. After conversing for a while, you can decide if you want to reveal your identity. That means that you can communicate freely with twine members, but if you decide not to pursue a certain relation for various reasons, your identity is hidden.
It it is also balanced in a way that there is equal number of female and male members. If there is more members of the opposite gender, you’ll need to wait to get in. As more users of the opposite gender join, faster you’ll get in. However, there is a trick to bypass the queue. All you have to do is to invite a friend of opposite gender and once they accept the invite, you are in. That doesn’t mean that app is exclusive for straight people. For each gay man or a woman that is accepted, there will be another gay man or a woman accepted too. It is smart dynamic that will ensure that you’ll have someone to talk to.
Security And Visibility
Twine.me is Facebook API, meaning that you’ll need to connect it to your Facebook profile. As previously mentioned, your profile is not revealed immediately. That means that all your photos in your profile and chat interface are blurred, and your name is hidden. When you send a reveal request, and the other party accepts, both your identities will be revealed and you can pursue your relationship without the “invisibility cloak”. If you don’t like your twine partner, there is a simple ”block” option and you won’t be bothered again.
If you want to update your profile click on ”Update Profile” and all the data from your Facebook profile will be transferred automatically. However, if you don’t want your Twine profile to be a copy-paste of your Facebook one, you can change that on ”My Update” section of the app. The app is free and available on iTunes store and on Google Play. There are plans for some premium features but they are to be announced.
Substance Over Looks
Since you probably have a lot of similar interests with your friends, and twine is matching on that basis, does that mean you’ll end up accidentaly flirting with your best friend or even worse, grandma? Don’t worry, you won’t. At the contrary, you will always be connected with somebody that you don’t know. To avoid shallow conversations and to encourage meaningful ones, you are limited to 3 twines a day. You can also receive only 3 incoming twines per day, so you won’t feel spammed.
ICE (Intelligent Conversation Enhancer) is a patent pending algorithm that attempts to create the most compatible local connections based on a combination of interests and proximity. In short, it will connect you to the most compatible people who are not (that) far away.
Twine.me stresses conversation and interests over your appearance. In a way it is a modern equivalent of masked ball, but without the big crinolines and top hats- a refreshing spin on both off and on line dating game. So, all the single guys or ladies, what are you waiting for? Put your twine up!
