LAPTOP MAGAZINE – Mar 11 – Meexo, a new app selected as a finalist for the SXSW Accelerator Competition, is completely mobile. Meexo also emphasizes privacy. “Each person’s account is tied to their particular device,” Meexo CEO Romain David explained, “and they’re only allowed to make one account per device—although they can sign in through multiple devices.” This acts as a safeguard against people making multiple accounts and posting fake photos and details about themselves. Users can connect the app to their Facebook account in a kind of reverse “find friend” feature. The app also attempts to solve the problem of getting too many messages from others, especially women from interested men. When users join the network, they receive virtual currency, but spend some of it when they message other people. This forces them to be more selective about who they approach.
