SOCIAL TIMES – Oct 9 – OKCupid is beta-testing a housemate-matching service on an undisclosed domain, according to co-founder and CEO Sam Yagan. Housemates, Yagan explained, are a logical use case for a platform that matches people based how they answer questions and how they say they’d like their matches to answer them. “The same Q&A format and algorithm applies for roommates. Do you stay up late? Do you do drugs? Do you have a girlfriend? It applies almost directly,” Yagan noted. It will likely leverage users’ Facebook profiles to find potential shared interests and social connections, Yagan said.
