Coffee Meets Bagel is the brainchild of 3, South Korean born sisters; Arum, Dawoon and Soo Kang. Now natives of New York City, they have seen that the mega metropolis, with its population of over 8million people, presents challenges for the right people to meet each other. Looking at their own predicament, the sisters 3 have created an app, where once again Facebook is the central connecting point to profiles of a potential romantic match up.

HOW IT WORKS
Everyday at noon, a profile match is sent to your phone...Yes I said a profile, singular - as everybody that is sent to you is considered carefully in relation to you. If 24 hours pass and you haven't given the go ahead, the profile expires. In this method the inventors have now created a hub where you have to be somewhat straight forward in your approach. And since these profiles are friends of friends, a sullied reputation is an easy thing to garner if you're going to mess people around and be a complete idiot. People talk.

It would seem that as a business venture, Coffee Meets Bagel has hit the right G spot. In a app sector that is hardly starving, the company has already received a buyout offer of $30million.

​Opting to receive financing instead, they ladies have acquired $7.8million, from a variety of businesses. You can be assured that this app is going to take off in ways that others have not. 

Highly accomplished in their individual respective fields, I am looking forward to their next invention.

It is more than fair to say; that not everyone is looking for that special one in their lives. Many people are looking to just hook up with anyone that takes their fancy. But in using these app services that seem to be aimed more for the sexual encounter, than leading to love, are we being naive about the possible social implications? Or are they completely harmless since many of these apps have secure confidentiality protocols? 

APP CONS
Lets be straight, apps that focus on immediate hook-ups, could put you in immediate danger, you don't know who you are going to meet and you don't know the truth of their personality or mind state. Also, what these apps don't provide you with, is a sexual history, you may not mind sleeping with someone who has had 200 partners...this year, but if you land yourself with an STD you will not be pleased. Since a lot of these apps rely on Facebook friends and friends of friends, the 6 degrees of separation scenario may also come back to bite you, as you find out that you just slept with your bosses_________. How is that for compromising your professional career, as you learn the hard way, that the divide between social media and the rest of the world is not that big. To add insult to injury you could end up with a profile on Lulu where past conquests start conferring about you because they all know each other.

APP PROS
You will find someone to play with.
You can go from having no plans whatsoever to an immediate date.
You can meet people instantly.
You can entertain yourself.
You can build your self-esteem...sort of or actually confirm your miserable existence.

Whatever you decide to do remember:

• A reputation is not an easy thing to mend.
• The world is a lot smaller than it use to be.
• And some diseases have no cure.
