164: Meet Huggle, The Platonic Social-Networking App That Puts Places Before Faces - a podcast by Neil C. Hughes
from 2016-12-15T22:05:15
Huggle lets you discover and connect with the people who go to the places you go and shows you the places you have in common. The app filters who you connect with based on where you go, what you do, what you're interested in and how you live your life. You are where you go, so let your lifestyle do the talking.
Apps such as Tinder encourage users to keep swiping left or right on human beings with real feelings, passions, and interests and is often a fruitless exercise. These shallow actions also feel incredibly primitive.
Huggle co-founder Stina Sanders recently asked "Are We Swiping Away Our Humanity?" If we behaved in he way that so many people do online, we’d be severely disappointed, depressed and potentially in prison.
Huggle is attempting to change the way people meet around the world for all the right reasons and I felt compelled to find out more.
