The Social Network for Two

I just stumbled upon this a few days ago, and I absolutely LOVE IT! It’s this new app called “Pair” for couples. It was started in February this year by five guys just out of college, three of whom were missing their girlfriends. They wanted a way to connect with their significant others in a Facebook-like way, but with more privacy. So, they created this app for couples in long-distance relationships or who just had to be away from each other for a bit. Here’s how they describe it on their website:

Pair is a brand new messaging app that we like to refer to as Super SMS. Our goal is to make Pair the first thing that pops into your mind when you want to share something with your partner. These days, it’s not only text messages that you want to share, but also photos, video, your location, and even things like sketches. Instead of treating these other types of messages like second class citizens, we treat them the same as text messages. This creates a very fun and intimate timeline between you and your partner, and helps you feel close even when you’re apart.

The app is free and available for iPhone with Android capability coming soon. The app has cool features like real-time sketch where you and your sweetheart can draw to each other or even play Hangman or Tic-Tac-Toe. The one I think is the best is the Thumbkiss. Thumbkiss allows you and your partner to touch your own screens, see each other’s thumb, and when you match them up on the screens, the phone vibrates creating a virtual kiss good-night (or good morning). I wonder if they can find the technology to do it with lips.

Grab the app and let me know what you think.
