Is this good matchmaking or a gimmick? As a sex-crazed neurotic, I think you know where I stand. How we date online is about to change. Today, dating companies fall into two camps: sites like eHarmony, Match, and OkCupid ask users to fill out long personal essays and answer personality questionnaires which they use to pair members by compatibility though when it comes to predicting attraction, researchers find these surveys dubious. On the other hand, companies like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge skip surveys and long essays, instead asking users to link their social media accounts. Tinder populates profiles with Spotify artists, Facebook friends and likes, and Instagram photos. We give dating apps access to this data and more: when one journalist from The Guardian asked Tinder for all the information it had on her, the company sent her a report pages long. Sound creepy? But when I worked as an engineer and data scientist at OkCupid, massive streams of data like these made me drool. In the future, apps like Tinder may be able to infer more about our personalities and lifestyles through our social media activity than an eHarmony questionnaire ever could capture.
