6大热门交友应用盘点

    如今人们把在线交友的阵地转移到了移动设备，使得网上交友服务的经营模式发生了重大变化。交友网站一般考虑约会双方是否有共同语言，追求是否相似，在此基础上力求为用户找到最佳的潜在配偶。与之相反，许多交友应用更注重速度和即时性。几款最受欢迎的应用都以用最快的速度寻找对象及进行约会为目的，帮助用户“以貌取人”。有些应用尽管并未明言为“约炮神器”，实际上也具有这类特点。下面我们将介绍一些最受用户欢迎，至少在目前来说大为流行的主流交友应用。

    Porting online dating to mobile devices has brought big changes to how such services work. Websites tend to expend a lot of effort on providing the best potential matches, based on things like common interests and similar desires. Many apps, on the other hand, tend to be more about speed and immediacy. Some of the most popular apps are geared toward finding and meeting people as quickly as possible, often based on not much more than photographs. That's true even of apps that don't explicitly emphasize "hookups." What follows are some of the most popular, or at least currently buzzworthy, mainstream-oriented dating apps.

Tinder

Tinder当然可以当作“约炮神器”使用，许多用户用它也是这个目的。这款应用与用户的Facebook账户相关联，展示用户的图片、姓名、年龄和性取向——-除此之外没有一句多的废话。用户饱览群图后对感兴趣的档案做出表示。若是对方也有兴趣，“两情相悦”，双方就可进一步交流，甚至可能马上就约定见面。Tinder目前由IAC/InterActiveCorp（简称IACI，也是主流交友网站matching.com的东家 ）出资。这款快速发展的应用正在进行多方努力，力求摆脱“约炮神器”的形象。

Tinder

Tinder certainly can be, and is, used for "hooking up." It ties to users' Facebook (FB,Fortune 500) accounts and presents pictures, name, age, and sexual orientation -- and that's it. Users swipe through these minimalist "profiles" and indicate interest. Mutual interest then leads to a chat, and, perhaps, an immediate meeting. Financed byIAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) (which also owns the super-mainstream Match.com) this fast-growing dating app is trying in various ways to evolve past its image as a hookup-enabler.
