Will Facebook Dating Break Tinder's Heart?
Shares of Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH), the parent company of Tinder, stumbled this week after Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) launched its new Facebook Dating platform in the U.S. The feature will appear as a new tab in Facebook's app and allow users over the age of 18 to create a separate dating profile.
Facebook Dating doesn't automatically link users to their Facebook friends. Instead, it lets users choose from "friends of friends" or users who are outside their Facebook circles. Users who are interested in their Facebook and Instagram friends can use a "secret crush" feature, which only matches users who like each other back -- similar to Tinder's system of matching swipes.
