Hussain Mehmood Still, I have many friends (female) who used or are using orkut. Badoo is something like when you go to torrent sites and a popup shows up with hot girl saying "I am in Karachi wanna meetup?"

Muhammad Huzaifa i just went to the site off your link and looked for a few mins didnt spot too many popup worthy hot girls :p ..but i think the vibe may be due to the way they have presnet the tag lines for profiles "I want to meet _gender_ _age_" similar to ASL in chat rooms.

Online dating and hooking up is going to be here today and tomorrow. Its a huge market. You cant do that on Facebook b/c its full of your friends and family surrounding you.

Hmmmm..not positive comments. I like the throw-away line of advice to, "take serious funding so you don't have to monetize too aggressively too early..." Point me to their funders....pls.

Great to see a non-SV company from Europe being so successful!

Hey Josh, take a shot or something next time. You are not that entertaining, especially for a 14 minute video.

I decided to try this thing out and installed their app, Facebook signed in and I got a bunch of pedophile fags viewing my profile and messaging me. I change preference to women only and I see fake bitches with protrait shots as if they are sucking some candy.

IMHO Badoo is just a huge an elaborated scam, just think about it, step 1.-crawl fake pics from the web, 2.-build thousands of profiles from them, 3.- connect them with real people, taking advantage from people's emotional needs and 4.- charge real people to see more fake messages from fake people.

The real answer to the first part: "How Badoo Got 130 Million People Meeting Each Other"?
Well, easy, they spam everyone they can based on contact lists (not just the one usual "one friend has invited you", but 3 times a month).
And when you click on the link to modify your preferences to avoid getting spammed, instead of letting you unsuscribe, they congratulate you for having just created your account (by clicking a link to avoid spam).

Me think that's the real story about having 130M people.
Doesn't mean they don't have a good service on the other hand, but clearly, they grow their base through unashamed and recurrent spamming.
