* TINDER is: Online dating app, more or less used as a hook-up/casual sex app but is also used in a serious way.
*'''How does Tinder work?'''
*Finds your location using GPS
*Uses your FB information to create your profile
*Tinder profile is made up of your first name, age, photos (max 6) and any pages you've liked on FB
*Allows you to have a short bio of max. 500 words, and allows you to show your education and occupation
*Tinder then finds you potential matches near you, you can narrow this down by age and distance
*Swipe right to like, left to pass/dislike
*'''Tinder updates:'''
*Collaboration with Nation Health Service (UK) in donor registration awareness through profiles of celebs (sort of advertisement) in december 2015. When you encountered a profile of them and swiped right a message popped-up saying '''If only it was that easy for those in need of a li'fe-saving organ to find a match'''.
*Celebrities are more and more active on Tinder. '''DiCaprio''': ''Obsessed with swiping on girls and seeing who's out there''. '''Duff''': ''I think the first thing is obviously looks, which sounds super vain, but that is what you first go for: natural chemistry. Also what they say in their profile has to be funny. I don't want to see a shirtless mirror selfie. That is instantly left. Someone who looks like they like to do fun things and someone who can make you laugh in their profile''.
*Possibility to send GIFS
*Linking with Instagram, which allows you to see the 34 most recent snaps of a potential date.
*'''Article 2:'''Super Like: to differentiate between just a like and a super-like. This 'like' is an upward swipe that a person will see before the make a decision of swiping either left or right. You can do this once per day, so your potential soulmate will know it is really real. This function is an answer to the frequently cited anecdotal evidence that all (straight) men on Tinder just swipe right on everyone, hoping against hope that they'll land a match. According to a report from the New York Times, men are three times as likely as women to swipe right on any given picture.
*New algorithm that shows you candidates of which Tinder thinks you might like. This is based on previous/past swipes - verify source: http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/11/tinder-matching-algorithm/

'''Notes''':
*Location-based dating, communication between matched users
*Launched in 2012
*Among the first swiping apps
*Founders: Rad, Badeen, Mateen, Munoz, Wolfe, Moorjani, Gylczynski
*Acoording to founder Rad Tinder's impetus (drijfkracht) is to link people together that don't know each other, but of whom you know that both are looking. In a bar for example you might be looking but the other people in a bar might not. On Tinder everybody is looking. It works 2-ways.
*Founder Mateen stated: That the app ws intended to be a chance to meet people you wouldn't normally meet.
*As of october 2014: 1 billion swipes per day, 12 million matches a day, users spend 90 minutes a day on the app.
*Introduction of Tinder Dates
*First Swipe app
*In 2015 introduction of rewinding, Tinder Moments (retired on 11-2015), verified profiles for public figures.
*October 2015 introduction of super likes, users are three times as likely to find a match.
*As of late 2014, 50 million people use the app every month with 12 million matches  per day.
*As of april 2015, 1,6 billion Tinder profiles, 26 million matches per day.
*8 billion matches have been made since Tinder launched in 2012.
*Review New York Times: The wide use of Tinder could be attributed not to what Tinder was doing right but to flaws in the models of earlier dating software, which relied on mathematical algoritms to select potential partners. Relationship experts interviewed by the newspaper stated that users used the photographs that come in succession on the app derive cues as to social status, confidence levels and personal interests.
*As of june 2015, 68% of Tinder users were male and 32% were female.
*CONCERNS: The impact it has on men's psychology, when there is a perceived surplus of women, the whole mating system tends to shift towards short-term dating where there is a feeling of disconnect when choosing future partners.
*Nancy Jo Sales wrote in Vanity Fairs that Tinder operates within a culture of users seeking sex without relationships.
