TECH CRUNCH - May 31 - MiniDates schedules dates for members based on their schedule and suitor preferences. There is no messaging and no browsing. The date is as blind as can be, with the exception of seeing a profile picture and an age. An email will be sent to a woman with a match, both in schedule and preferences, and it’s her prerogative whether or not she accepts. Subsequently, men are notified that this or that lady has accepted a date with them. Men can’t see anything about the women until the date has been accepted, and no one will be able to connect with anyone until they’re found in real life. After the date, they’re asked to rank your potential suitor.
Great for those inclined to blind date. The adventurous will flock. So this is a niche app, for sure.

OkCupid did this years ago. It will be interesting to see if they can get any traction. See the original Quora thread on Crazyblinddate, including comments from one of the engineers http://www.quora.com/What-happened-with-Crazy-Blind-Date
