DateBid Limited Announces Launch of DateBid, A New Social Gaming and Online Dating Application
New Auction-Style, Ice Breaker Game Breaks the Mold of Online Dating
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 -- DateBid Limited today announced the launch of DateBid, a new social game application that puts a fun, engaging and interactive twist on online dating. DateBid is an auction-style, ice-breaker game for meeting new people that brings a unique blend of social gaming and online dating to social network platforms and mobile devices. DateBid is available now on Facebook (http://bit.ly/datebid) and will soon be available on other social networks and mobile devices.
Getting started with DateBid is easy. Simply log in with a Facebook account to create a free profile and receive 5,000 free DateBid Fun Dollars to use in auction bidding fun. You can choose whether to bid for a 5-minute webcam date with a DateBid member, or have others bid for a 5-minute webcam date with you. Once an auction ends, the top bidder is the winner of the date auction and members can pick a date and time that is convenient for them for their webcam date. After the date is completed, the winning bid amount is credited to the auction seller and the DateBid Fun Dollars can be redeemed for prizes or donated to a charity of their choice.
"Our vision for DateBid is to combine the excitement of social gaming and online dating for a safe, fun, and socially engaging way to meet new people," said Alex Yamane, Chief Technology Officer for DateBid. "With our online and mobile webcam dates, we solve the problem of not knowing for sure whether the person you meet online is really who they say they are. It brings people together in the courtship game, while letting your friends be involved for real-time advice while you date, playing cupid through our secret admirer feature, or using the platform for raising money for a charitable cause."
DateBid is launching at a time when the social gaming industry is on a huge growth trajectory. The videogame market research group, NPD Group, released the results of a new study in August 2010, which revealed that 20 percent of the U.S. population - or 56.8 million people - have played a social game on a social network platform, such as Facebook, over the past three months.
