What incentive do I have, as a user, to vote on matches? You'd better have some sort of system set up where I cannot view my matches until I rank 10 other matches "accurately," where accurately means I've voted on the most common answer. This is to prevent hitting "Yes!" on 10 really quick so I can continue with what I was doing.
It's a great idea that you crowd source the matchmaking... but I just don't see the users actively making matches unless there is some incentive... probably even points would do.
- thorax 18y agoYeah, the matchmaker problem we're attacking this way: * Coming soon, stats/points/levels for matchmakers. * Users ask their friends to matchmaker for them specifically, and we interleave other matches once in a while to spread out the love. So far we've had a lot of non-single people who just loved to play matchmaker, so we're hoping that will continue/carry-over as well. Thanks for the great feedback-- if you have other ideas on increasing matchmakers, we'd love to hear them!
- rksprst 18y agoHow are you better than engage.com who also does the matchmaking thing?
- thorax 18y agoGreat question! We're much more focused on leveraging the widget/facebook/myspace/iphone/social-site dynamic with Yumbunny. Engage has somewhat stagnated and we hope to leverage a few different things: * A fresh approach to the concept * Leverage embeds heavily * Leverage our speed and performance as much as possible to keep people engaged when they otherwise wouldn't stay hooked. * Aim to produce leaner and meaner software without requiring the millions in funding they needed to get where they are. But if you have any additional ideas, don't hesitate to share them. ;)
