Jdate Sues Jswipe For Using The Letter “J”

Posted on July 27, 2015

Jdate vs jswipeFORBES – July 24 – Spark Network's Jdate discreetly filed a lawsuit late last year against Jswipe, the Jewish ‘Tinder’, claiming intellectual property over the letter “J” within the Jewish dating scene. Jdate also claims it owns the patent on software that “confidentially determines matches and notifies users of mutual matches in feelings and interests.” Jswipe, like Tinder, notifies users when their romantic interest ‘swipes right’ on their picture, violating Jdate’s patent. It is not clear why Jdate only goes after Jswipe. There are other apps using "J" including Jcrush, Jwed, Jzoog. Spark Networks refused to comment.

Online Dating Is Killing Anonymity

Posted on March 31, 2015

Online dating is killing anonymityTHE DAILY BEAST – Mar 31 – Part of the appeal of online dating site and apps once was the privacy factor. But the more people use online dating sites and apps, the more likely we are to run into someone that we know. JSwipe allows users to turn off the ability to be seen or match with Facebook friends. OkCupid has a couple of features that will be rolled out in the next couple months. The first will allow a user to hide their profile from all users by default, and to only be seen by people they actively ‘Like’ or send a message to. The second will give the user an option of using a connected Facebook account to block any of their friends that are also on OkCupid.

JSwipe: A Tinder For Modern-Day Yentas

Posted on March 17, 2015

Jswipe screenshotsNY TIMES – Mar 13 - JSwipe is like JDate combined with Tinder. The app started last April. Instead of attributes like favorite movies, users indicate their degree of Jewishness (among them: Just Jewish, Orthodox and Willing to Convert). The app's founder, David Yarus (28), describes typical JSwipe users as “millennial Jews whose grandparents and mothers are saying, ‘When are you going to marry someone Jewish?’ ” The app has ~250K users in 70 countries. Much of the growth has been through word of mouth, with users acting like yentas.
