Find singles in places you like with Zingle

Last week Facebook released support for places. Although Foursquare has been offering similar service Facebook will make it mainstream. Facebook may solve the check-in fatigue, an important back-draw of Foursquare. It enables users to check-in when they post a message or photo at the place, instead of checking in. Places will become as easy and straightforward as posting a status or photo. At Zingle we believe that places are an important parameter of the users identity and profile. People who visit the same restaurants, clubs, shops, … usually have similar interests and could be better matches for each other. The Zingle Matching vision Zingle already imported the likes and interests and other profile data from Facebook and music interests from iLike. Unlike the long psychological questionnaires by Parship, Meetic Affinity, Plentyoffisch, Be2 and others Zingle has a different vision to matching. In the Facebook era the user gives out so much information about what he likes, what he listens to, where he eats, travels, what type of car he drives, … .Therefore instead of asking the user to fill in questionnaires Zingle imports as much information about a user from Facebook and other sources as possible to create a very complete dating profile. Places? Check-in fatigue? Zingle members will just have to connect their Zingle account with Facebook places and Foursquare to activate the dating by places feature.  Places will automatically be imported and synced with Facebook and Foursquare. The users won’t need to check-in. Places will be available as of version 1.2 for iPhone, which will be released shortly.
