Tinder has a bizarre new way to send a date to your coworkers - here's what it's like
Business Insider
The idea was that you could play matchmaker, Tinder said. Once you sent the profile, your friend would have the opportunity to swipe "yes" or "no" on the profile, and wait and see if they have a match.
Now this button has appeared in the wild in New York City, and there's already at least one strange integration with another service: work-chat program Slack. Slack is a red-hot $3.8 billion startup that is replacing email as the primary mode of communication in many workplaces (including Business Insider). One of the draws of Slack is that it makes chatting with your coworkers feel relaxed and informal - enough that you might want to set them up on a date?
Tinder's share button integrates with a bunch of apps - though not Facebook Messenger, Apple's email app, or the original Facebook app - but Slack is the funniest. LinkedIn comes in a close second.
Here's what it's like to use the Tinder to try and set up a coworker:
