I read "From the creators of Tinder" first and then I immediately read "Nipple". Now I can't even bring myself to download and try it.. Nah.

Love the idea, it’s available here in Ireland but it requires your phone number to use a predefined country code (+1 when it’s +353 here) so I can’t sign up...

If someone took my picture without my permission I would not be happy. Linkedin is bad enough. This isn’t needed.

LinkedIn is frankly awful, its newsfeed is the pits. Medium mixes up articles from people I follow with article I _might_ enjoy. Keen to try it in case it helps cut through the clutter. I will mourn the death of the 'I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn' though.

Oh, it's not available in the UK :(

@stevenjmesser We're updating iOS to allow for international numbers soon!

@garethtjohnson Sweet! How do we find out when that's ready?

In the way of names, Ripple is the new Paper. Everyone is using it as a name.

So after the DTF now we have the DTW standing for Down to Work?
eboy
LinkedIn is not hip. I welcome any new direction.
@Bernardamus
So what’s the real added value compared to... Linkedin? I am not really shuffling my next Job opportunity... mmm

Are we in 2014? Tinder for professional networking has been done. A lot. And a few really well, with a lot of money raised, and NONE continue to exist today. But I’m keeping an open mind. Other than being made by Tinder folk, how is this any different? The app is less a standalone app and more of a feature for LinkedIn imho, so I don’t really see a competitive advantage as of yet. Again, keeping an open mind. Would love to hear from the founders.

The idea seems great but it looks like the android app has been shipped in a rush because i couldn't even get past the signup process.

Pros:

The idea seems great

Cons:

Couldn't go through the onboarding as linking a google account didn't work and linking a twitter account crashed the app
