VENTURE BEAT - Mar 27 - Tinder is testing a new feature called "Matches Up For" that lets singles set a status to indicate they are interested in meeting up for a specific activity. The feature is not a permanent addition, meaning not all users currently have the experiment and it may not be here to stay. Matches Up For is a perfect example of dating apps ripping and innovating off each other. It also shows how they are eager to expand from matching singles to helping them actually meet. Tinder's new feature looks like a direct ripoff of dating app Happn. Happn only offers six choices: Grab a bite, Go for a run, Get a drink, Catch a movie, Go out, and Go for a walk. Tinder is currently testing 11 choices: Going Out, Drinks, Coffee, Food, Dancing, A Party, Clubbing, Movies, Karaoke, Tea, and A Concert.
