Tinder is a social dating app used by millions of people.
How can bitshares integration help Tinder increase profit, and introduce BTS to a huge audience?
Tinder shows you facebook pictures of people in your area for dating. You press yes or no, and if the person says yes too, then you are able to chat with eachother.
For free, Tinder allows users to view ~30 people every 12 hours.
If you want unlimited access then you can pay about $8/month for the privilege. The price has recently dropped, which I assume means they want to attract more signups and are looking to increase their conversion %.
Tinder grew their social network by being totally free for about a year, and are now monetizing their userbase.
Credit card payments are not very private, and paying for dating related products is still a bit taboo.
How can seamless BitShares integration make payment easier, cheaper and more private for their customers?
My thinking so far:
Females have a LOT of choice of males, being able to pay to go to the front of the queue of men that they see could be very profitable for Tinder.
Perhaps the order in which potential matches are displayed could include a new variable in its algorithm. Purchasing 'tinder points' using bitUSD would give you an advantage proportional to the amount of points you hold.
Some people love to customize, holding Tinder Points could allow them to pay a few pennies to add sparkles and glitter to their profile, or unlock mild photo FX to make them look 'cool'.
Tinder recently got Instagram integration, so users can display unlimited photos using their instagram account, rather than the maximum of 5 without instagram.

I recall a certain similar thread about this on the ethereum reddit....a lot of jokes about how nobody working on this technology is going to be getting laid any time soon.

integration and partnership efforts like this are an awesome idea. this sounds like a standard job for our marketing delegates, but likely to be more effective after 2.0 hits the street and proves itself technically. nonetheless, the community should have a standard marketing / pitch package for reaching out to potential partners, maybe a shared spreadsheet where we document who we've reached out to, when, how, and what the results were, etc. having a core pitch and integrating our efforts could pay big divs in time.
