LoginInternet dating has certainly taken a new technological turn and is migrating from desktop to smartphone. They exploit the location tracking, the frictionless snap-and-send of smartphone photography and the always-on bantering of messaging software to create a less formal experience than web-based sites. Ease of use, slick design — often more like a game than just a useful tool — these apps provide not just a connective launch pad but a source of entertainment for their users. And unlike dating sites, most of these apps are free though how their business models work is still rather vague. These apps are obviously popular: based on the number of users logging in and swiping their evenings away Tinder alone has reported 75 million matches but I have to wonder, is app dating becoming more of a game in itself, desensitising us from the real experience, or is it the key to successfully finding a match? Log in via Facebook, select a few pictures — adding a line or two of description of yourself is optional. You can start swiping yay or nay to what appears to be a never-ending supply of possible matches generated by your GPS position and age preferences.

Offering a roulette of potential matches that feels more like a party game than a quest for romance, Tinder, a free mobile app, is taking dating back to the basics. The design is simple: user profiles display up to five pictures, a first name, age, distance away, mutual friends and mutual interests. Users can dismiss a potential match with the swipe of their finger to the left, or approve with a swipe to the right -- an act as swift as glancing someone over at a bar or coffee shop.
