Unless you are building a hack on top of an existing dating site, it’s next to impossible to jump into the dating market.
This is interesting. How would you create a hack on top of an existing dating site? Make a deal with said dating site? Provide an unsanctioned plug-in (eg Greasemonkey)? Something else?
- joshz 15y agoOne example, not built on top of a dating site but last.fm, tastebuds.fm is a social network/dating site based around music. Old discussion here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1992801 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1992801
- itmag 15y agoCool! I am assuming last.fm has an API and/or is scrapeable without having to log in? Neither is typically true for dating sites.
- joshz 15y agoThey have an API and devs need API accounts. I don't know much about dating sites but I'm guessing they don't have APIs because exposing the type of data they store would be pretty creepy.
