You might not realize it with all the other sorts of adult-oriented materials out there today, but social media sites are actually the most accessed on the planet, and a new social app like Badoo is definitely turning heads for people who are seeking real connections.

An Overview of Badoo

With so many sites floating around out there like eHarmony, Match and Tinder, you might be inclined to think that the dating app market is overly saturated and that there's really no use to find and install a new app. Well, this just means that you haven't heard of Badoo yet. This particular app is nothing at all like a Tinder app, which focuses more on hook-ups and less on relationships. And when it comes to huge names like eHarmony, this app also has a lot more going for it when you get down to bare bones. These sites are built around the idea of people looking for romantic relationships. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but remember that they're targeting people in the social media age. What they're missing, to be sure, is the idea that people can be friends first and not just lovers. This is where Badoo really does things differently. What you're dealing with via this app is a system that focuses on friendships and ensures that the people you're speaking with are good matches for you socially. In other words, this is like Twitter and Facebook meet Match, in that you're finding matches through the social realm and deciding from there where to take them.

With the regular dating site algorithms, all they're looking for is people who may be compatible out on a date. Though what if an app tried to figure out if you were compatible via how you use social media? This is what Badoo does. Imagine making a great friend on a social networking platform. You know what sort of statuses they use, what sort of sense of humor they have, how they stand politically, etc. This gives you a lot of additional information to go on, rather than knowing if they like long walks on the beach or if they've ever been married.

Features of Badoo

The great thing about Badoo is that it starts out like any other social media site or app you use. You create a profile, entering the personal information you want, and then you upload some pictures, if you want to upload them. You then check out who else is in the network, and the app itself will point you in the direction of some people with which you may be compatible. Badoo is the proprietary release of the software company of the same name, and the goal here is to help people meet people. There are no real expectations on you here. You're not necessarily signing up to go on dates; you're signing up to meet new people.
