Nudge is an app that aims to promote physical social interactions by allowing users to view profiles of other users within close proximity and sending "nudges" to encourage breaking the ice in person rather than solely online. It competes with apps like Tinder, Break the Ice, and SocialRadar by focusing on connecting users when they are physically near each other instead of just online.

Editor's Notes
- #3: -Talk about how many initial attempts at relationships fail because of lack of info regarding personality or internal characteristics -“Social” Apps don’t capitalize on benefits of human connection - Fewer human interactions/genuine connections formed Many applications claim to connect people, but what they often sacrifice is real-life human interaction. As much as we love to claim about how we’re more of a “connected” and “integrated” society, there are sacrifices we make when we choose to Facebook message instead of talking face to face. We believe that technology can do more, and has the responsibility to do more to PROMOTE human interaction rather than replace it.
- #5: Tinder - No personality integrated, only dating Break the ice - Geosocial Networking mobile app that allows you to meet new people in your close proximity SocialRadar- Learn about people around you. All location-based, but with chat! Doesn’t help promote physical connections. Also, all dating, no other types of relationships. Skout- connecting with people, and chat Friendsy- Badoo- Dating, and chat MeetMe- location based dating
