http://www.LetsLunch.com mobile app is next!
Nice service. Just what I've been looking for. Not a big fan of the design though. It's also somewhat laggy (edit: and now it's down). Looks like you've gotten good traction already. Have you described somewhere growth hacks that you used to get to this point?
yes a redesign, better UX and mobile app work is going on in our laboratory :-) I will write a blogpost soon on growth hacks. Wrote some of psychological aspects of running startups on my blog http://SyedShuttari.com
Brian from Weave here. We're the other app mentioned in the earlier techcrunch article and in the comments: http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/01/brian-ma-weave/

Glad to see other entrepreneurs innovating in the space.

@syed123 - looking forward to trying LetsLunch mobile.

@JimmaDaRustia - we're on both iOS and Android if you wanna give us a shot.

+1 for weave. I use it for 4 weeks now, had 10+ matches and met 4 people. And I enjoyed every meeting! Thanks Brian.
Hwdy,

Just curious if you can answer this... I worked at the original Decide.com in 1999 before the down-turn...

How much did you acquire that domain name for when you launched your version of decide.com?

Haha, funny. A lot, but it was worth it. $175k.
I tried and liked the iOS P2P app getLoopd.com. I suggested to a friend who is an event organizer, he and agreed to try it at one of his mixers. He encouraged us to keep our iPhones in our pockets while we talked with each other. And, between moving around the room, I selected who I wanted to connect with and they got back pretty fast. I think everyone had the same experience. Made some good connections for my business. From reading about the Tinder-like matching apps, I think getLoopd is a totally different beast - it doesn't roam anonymously. It uses Bluetooth so best when you talking with someone who is a few feet away.
