The Future of Gay Dating

If you look at the history of personal computing, although change is the norm with technology there are also some constants. As technology has progressed hard ware has become more powerful, smaller, and faster. Over the years the personal computer has gone from large desktop to now small smart phones more powerful than yesterdays computer. The same applies to websites, if you've noticed we have gone from complicated social sites such as Black Planet (BGC Live.. cough cough) with its multiple pages to streamlined sites such as Face Book which can give you an information overload all on one page. Welcome to the new phase of social sites, smart phone only social sites that is. In 2009 a new company called Grindr jumped in to the application development and membership has jumped to 500,000 iphone users in a years time. Now instead of going and filling out long and tedious membership forms you cans simply put a few lines about you name, age, pic and your done. With GPS, Wifi, or cell phone tower location you can meet other Gay guys with in miles or even feet. Start a quick chat agree to meet up and the software will provide the actual location of your future friend (because it skews the actual location of you to protect you from possible threats of gay bashing) or one night stand. Unfortunately Grindr at the moment is only on the iphone but because of the overwhelming popularity a similar program has been created for the Android operating system (i.e. Nexus One, G1, Droid, HTC Hero, MotoBlur). Encountr recently released on the Android Market mirrors Grindr, the only drawback is that its new so the base has not grown as much!
