woome - Internet Marketing News and Blogs

WooMe is the latest upstart to take on the web dating establishment, launching out of beta last week. 

Backed by European VCs Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis and Klaus Hommels, it enables speed daters to interact via in-browser Flash video technology, then charges them to contact each other if they are ‘woo’d’.

It has competition in the form of SpeedDate.com, among others, but says it is also being used for a range of non romance-related tasks. It has also been approached by firms that want to use its technology in HR, internal comms and elsewhere.

We had a quick chat with founder and CEO Stephen Stokols about its plans for the future.
