TECH CRUNCH - Jan 22 - Tagged,
the people discovery service with 300M registrations and 3M daily
users, is stepping into offline meetups by launching standalone app Sidewalk
that feeds you fun happenings in your city, as well as who you might
run into where you’re hanging out. Building Sidewalk as a standalone app
rather than as a feature of Tagged also protects the company. The idea
is that you’ll open Sidewalk, discover something fun going on nearby,
get off your butt and go there, and meet people. There are no gimmicks,
forced ice breakers, or private messaging. Sidewalk also has less
anonymity. The app is simply a portal to connection around real-life
moments.
