WALL STREET JOURNAL - June 10 - "It's giving us a chance to rethink the way we date and meet people," said Dani Fankhauser, who co-founded XO, a new app that aims to facilitate meaningful and more playful relationships. XO uses in-app icebreakers games like "Kiss, Marry, Fight" (choose which of three celebrities/cartoons/brand mascots you want to Kiss, Marry or Fight). This week Coffee Meets Bagel is rolling out a "Virtual Date Nudge" to facilitate socially distanced relationships. Once two people have swiped and started chatting, the app prompts each one to select a digital-date idea from a list of six, including a game night, a virtual museum tour or the swapping of recipes to cook together over video. When one person selects one, signaling "I'm open to it," the other is alerted.
