There’s a kind that is different of happening on campus that doesn’t include dining halls.
Centered on a “hot or otherwise not concept that is” Tinder is an on-line relationship app that matches people in the area by having users swipe directly to show interest or a swipe kept to reject. Since its inception 17 months ago, Tinder, as well as other internet dating apps such as for example Grindr, Hinge and Twine, has already established a growing existence on university campuses.
Produced by USC alumni and co-founders Sean Rad and Justin Mateen, Tinder was initially launched at universities, beginning at their alma mater.
Mateen said they strategically aimed the software at a university demographic since they knew the software would be successful if it resonated with university students.
