GUARDIAN.CO.UK – Dec 27 - Grindr is a smartphone app that allows men to find each other for "dating, socialising and friendship". Nearly 3M men are signed up globally, and the UK is one of the biggest markets. The people behind Grindr have been promising to create a version for women who want to find women. But it hasn't turned up. They've released Blendr, which says it's for "straight and lesbian" users but it's really a male-female app with no focus on queer women. Have other apps jumped on the Grindr bandwagon? Yes, but the ones aimed at queer women have mostly fallen off it again. There's Qrushr Girls but its address now redirects you to an insurance site. There's another called Brenda, but a recent iPhone app review complains that most of the people using it are men.

Women are still warming up to the concept of GPS based dating. It’s gonna take a couple more years before the non-gay GPS sites gain significant traction. But Blendr is positioned well, and is getting plenty of press

There’s also some research indicating women just aren’t into mobile dating like men are, due to it’s ‘hook up’ nature. Yes, this might just be a ‘takes time to catch up’ issue, like smoking! HA.

The cited article raised some interesting questions about how such a GPS-based service might work for lesbians. As a lesbian coach and matchmaker myself, I’d be interested in talking with anyone interested in tackling this challenge!!!
