Speed-dating online is the becoming the new craze for 18-24 year-olds
Woome.com, is the source of this new craze. Created by George Burkowski and Steve Stokols, it is the new idea that is taking the internet by storm.
Berkowski said he did not want to make the site too lovey-dovey; he wanted it to be more of a place where for people to socialize and meet. The two young men started this site, because they saw that speed-dating was becoming extremely popular, especially among young people. They figured by putting this service on the internet they would make this type of dating more easy and efficient. As well, the odds are certainly very high for finding a partner in a room with 30 guys and 30 girls.
They also wanted to break the stigma surrounding on-line dating, which is that people who go online to date are looking for marriage and a life-time partner. By using the speed-dating system, this sight attracts younger people; because it takes very little time, and it is a great way for them to meet people.
The target age-group for this site is, 18-24 year-olds. Already, there are about 200,000 users, and big-names like the founders of Skype are supporting this new idea. So this might be next major trend of the near-future!
