matchTalk is the new VoIP service offered by the biggest online dating service Match.com to their users.
New Match.com online dating service to use anonymous voice chat
DALLAS (AP) – Online dating services may be convenient, but they’re not the most personable way to meet a potential mate.
What’s been lacking, Match.com chief executive Jim Safka believes, is a way for would-be couples to hear each other talk.
A new service from the company called matchTalk aims to do just that.
Free for basic subscribers beginning Thursday, matchTalk will let users go online and signal if they’re interested in speaking to each other anonymously, and securely, over their telephones.
The system uses new computer-based phone technology that allows each person to call in to a central conference call of sorts, Safka said.
The matchTalk system assigns the couple a unique number that they can use to talk to each other without fear of giving away their real telephone number or other personal details. People with caller ID will see the matchTalk number instead of their actual listing.
Even if not mentioned, the service is provided by Jangl, a company founded in 2005 which received a total of $9 million funding. It seems to be the first signed deal by this company.
I look forward to talking with Jangl CEO in the following days in order to better understand their service, technology and business plan.
