Bumble

Flirt through apps and web services is nothing weird , or shouldn't be for most mobile users anymore due to the large number of alternatives available A way to find a partner, someone new to to meet or just a sexual encounter which is becoming more common, with more users connected. And as if the current alternatives were few, a new tool hits the market.It's called Bumble and it has a lot to do with the acclaimed and famous Tinder, for more reasons bad than good.

This is an app still in its infancy, already available for iOS in United States although still in test mode. And it is that they are finalizing details before its official launch, which is expected for more platforms and without taking too long. In fact, according to the media TechCrunch, the first day of December would be the date chosen for it. A tool to “meet people” according to its description that was born practically through Tinder , being its creators former workers of this other famous dating application.

In fact, the curious thing about Bumble is that it will be in direct competition with Tinder arriving hand in hand with three of his own former workers, including Whitney Wolfie Someone who not only worked at Tinder as Marketing Director, but was also considered co-founder of the application until reported sexual harassment suffered by another co-founder and was allegedly discriminated against and stripped of her title within the company A good way to get revenge and get notoriety for your own business.

The application Bumble, according to its own description and sources that have informed different media, seeks functionality very similar toTinder, although distancing itself in certain aspects. Thus, although the idea is to flirt or meet people, we want to base it on security and respect for the community , avoiding unwanted messages offered by other applications.Thus, in Bumble there would be positive discrimination against women, since they would be the unique ones that could send an initial message to a contact found in the application, being the contact who decides whether or not to accept the message and start direct communication.

Another difference would be the way of meeting other people. And it is that Bumble would have a deeper system than Tinder, offering the possibility of completing profiles at a more private level with data such as year in which you finished your degree, current job , interests and other points that are far from the current information that can be seen on Tinder , where the majority weight, as in the rest of similar applications, resides in the collection of photographs of each profile.

At the moment little else is known about this application. It's just that it's in full productive swing, finalizing details before going to market, and having obtained important financial support Something that could do a lot of damage to Tinder if they really know its ins and outs, strengths and weaknesses by coming directly from within. We will have to wait to see how users react to this new alternative to flirt in a more secure and, apparently, serious way from the mobile.
