Reward people bringing new friends

[harryworld]

Exploring new things is human nature

By knowing new people, you discover new friendships, opportunities or business, it doesn't have to be dating.

What if we promise meeting new friends, by connecting your best friends together more easily?

The mechanism works like this:

1. You create a Signal
2. It analyzes the relationships between your selected list of best friends
3. It sends out the signal in an order that, A is least familiar with B
4. If A and B both join, you will be rewarded
5. If A and B make each other best friends, you will be rewarded more

The big question for me is - is this something that people want? I personally would not use this service. I have many friends that I don't have enough time to see. I am not going to spend my limited free time arranging to meet new people. Am I an anomaly or the rule?

I agree with Charlie that if the focus is to meet new people, I would
definitely not use it. If 1)it's a fun and super simple way to meet up
with my good friends as the primary feature, 2)add value in giving
promotions to places and suggestions to things going on, and 3) has a
mechanism to amplify the signal to the good friends of the people already
going, I think that's compelling.

To me, it seems there are two problems we are trying to address: 1) it's
hard to set up last minute hangouts with your friends, maybe it's not
knowing where to go or getting people to commit...etc...2) people don't
want to always have happy hour with the same people / it's hard to meet new
people...there are no services that help you do this...

If we can agree that these are the two core problems we are trying to solve
then we should go out and ask more people if this is the case...
