I am jealous. :)


Friends, jokes apart, we really believe that making the first move is hard. People fear losing their good friends or getting rejected.

So we created PairBuddy. Please give us your constructive feedback.

Thanks!


The project itself looks ok to me - I don't really mind the logo, though.

Concering growth/spreading of the project: BangWithFriends had huge media coverage because it was something new and also a little controversial. I'm afraid PairBuddy is missing this aspect.

I nonetheless with you the very best of luck with your weekend project.


Thanks senic. We are not controversial - so not expecting a viral growth. We think that people interested in serious relationships will benefit from it. Even if we are able to reach to a few thousand and are genuinely able to help them, we will be happy. :)

I agree, it is not anonymous.

We created a version that is more suitable for Facebook - for people looking for serious relationships instead of casual encounters.

We have got some good support in our beta launch.


How Google (and we) encourage suicide:

The first link to "suicide" search results (https://www.google.com/search?q=suicide) to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide which unfortunately has "Reasons" & "Methods" before "Prevention" and has no mention of why you shouldn't commit suicide.

At the bottom of the first page of the results, the first related search is "suicide methods" http://imgur.com/7lJ02

Further search for "suicide methods" results in the following first three links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_methods

http://wantdeath.blogspot.in/2011/07/fastest-and-painless-su...

and

http://frater.com/suicidelist.html

There is no mention of why suicide is bad and it just gives the depressed person a way to end his/her life.

I don't blame only Google, but I think the entire web & the web community (with SEO, SEM, etc) contributes a lot for this disaster.


Why the hell people still use LaunchRock.. such a waste of time!


Why not? We believe LaunchRock is still awesome to create viral landing pages.. We already have the product ready that is being beta tested. We dont want to waste time in creating another viral landing page..


You should then direct us to the beta product.. Not your Launchrock page..


Please sign up for the product, we will invite you shortly. Thanks!
