As an industry first, Skout found a way connect the virtual online dating world with the real world. People can use Skout to chat, share photos, and even share videos. The new SKOUT.COM iPad app will not only show you singles nearby who are active and ready to chat, it will also boast a new concept: The HotMap. The Map will display a live overview of where most singles are currently active in your area. If members are searching for men between 25-30, the map will show the highest concentration of the results on the map. Data is aggregated live from the Skout Network of over 500,000 members using iPhones, the web, mobile web, and now the iPad. According to Match.com founder Gary Kremen, "As we stand at the cusp of mobile convergence, SKOUT is perfectly positioned to disrupt the online dating market. SKOUT represents what all dating companies must become to not only just remain relevant, but to survive." The Skout dating service is available on virtually every mobile phone with a browser as well as via a laptop or desktop computer by visiting http://www.skout.com. With Valentine's around the corner members can also rely on SKOUT to meet up with others with similar interests who are nearby hoping to communicate and maybe even find love.
