WishDates - Smart Social Network of a New Generation

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- WishDates.com – is a social resource of a new generation – a smart social network.

WishDates combines advantages of the existing resources with cutting edge technology, bringing you incredible opportunities for meeting new people and communicating with your friends. In a few moments, you’ll be able to find like-minded companions to chat or go out with, gather friends for a party or meet a significant other. Moreover, you’ll always stay updated on the latest events happening on your location, as well as worldwide.

WishDates was designed keeping in mind the concept of real life challenges. Every step gives you million chances; each touch opens up million opportunities. The unique solution was to embrace all aspects of social communication within one simple smart and user-friendly app.

All you need is touch.


The Smart Way to be Online

Present day social networks only allow communication with the people you already know. They’ve got a riot of different tools and settings, including increased security. Navigating such resources resembles piloting a spacecraft, we’ve no clue about what half of those buttons mean, but while the flight is fine, we prefer not to touch them at all. At the same time, lots of people pass us by every day, but we don’t even know they exist, not to mention how to connect to them.

On the other hand, current dating resources usually have one or two buttons, and a few search filters, the results show so many people, you wouldn’t know where to start. It’s impossible to fully customize such a resource; you get a product as is. This way communication turns into a battle with spam from fake profiles and annoying commercials which occupy every tiny bit of space.

WishDates decided to integrate unique searching tools designed by dating sites with an immense potential of social networking resources. The idea was to extend opportunities for communication and meeting new people, at the same time, maintaining them user-friendly, simple and fun.

One Touch. Million Opportunities.
