Online dating just got a reboot. Canoodle, which is currently in beta and owned by the UK-based e-dating company Cupid, is aiming to maximize potential matches with the help of Facebook. As BuzzFeed reports:
When users log in through Facebook, Canoodle looks at what they've liked and helps them find people who like the same things. Sean Wood, communications director of Cupid, notes that searching for people who share your interests isn't especially easy on Facebook, and says Canoodle solves that problem, helping users meet like-minded dates or just potential friends.
Canoodle also lets users search for prospective matches by vicinity, similar to what Grindr accomplishes with its location-based hookup service. What's even more interesting, despite Canoodle determining daters through "likes," the real name attached to your Facebook account is hidden until you are ready to reveal it.
