Grindr is a huge success, as apps go. The location-based dating app for men-loving men has won several awards and counts millons of gay, bisexual, and bi-curious men among its users.
Grindr creator Joel Simkhai, who spoke with VentureBeat at South By Southwest Interactive in Austin this week, also recently launched a new, similarly location-based app called Blendr. The app is intended to allow like-minded folks to find new friends in proximity, and Simkhai says it’s been tweaked with straight people and lesbians in mind, as well.
