Some of you may have noticed that we’ve started making matches based on common Facebook likes as of a few days ago. For instance:
“You should meet Gabe. You’ve both liked Fireball Island.”
We’re really excited about using more information from your social network profiles to make great matches. Using Facebook likes lets us make very specific introductions while preserving our breezy signup process. Additionally, one of Gatsby’s strengths has always been that he effortlessly works for you — now, whenever you like something, it’s added to your matchmaking profile instantly.
This is the first step in what will be quite a few new updates in the coming months, and we’re looking forward to sharing some of the exciting things we’re working on!
