Quepasa Corp Launches "Locals" to Let Users Start Out as Friends This Valentine's Day
92% of Members Prefer Romance to Start Out as Friendship; 54% Have Met in Person
NEW HOPE, PA--(Marketwire - Feb 14, 2012) - Quepasa Corporation (
"There has always been a thin line between friendship and romance," notes Catherine Cook, co-founder of myYearbook and Vice President of Brand Strategy for Quepasa Corporation. "A recent survey found that more than 90% of our users prefer to start out as friends before jumping into a romantic relationship, and more than 54% of our members have met someone from myYearbook in person. With its emphasis on connecting people based on proximity, myYearbook Locals makes it easier than ever for new friends to meet."
By tapping into GPS on the mobile device, Locals allows myYearbook members to run proximity-based searches to meet new people nearby, anywhere in the world, based upon their current location. Members can elect to restrict their search to people who are currently online and who match their age and gender.
"Friendship is the best filter for finding romance," suggests Cook. "If you don't enjoy someone's company, if you don't like their jokes, if you can't stand their conversation, you shouldn't be with them. No dating-site algorithm will ever substitute for meeting up in person and establishing a friendship."
