Hot Potato makes it easy to share what you’re doing with friends and connect with others who have similar interests. We ask, “What are you doing?”, and you interact using a structured response. First choose a verb — I’m watching. Then select the name of the activity — I’m watching the Superbowl. Once you’ve confirmed, you’re connected to everyone else watching the Superbowl on Hot Potato. Ask questions, sound off, share your photos and videos.

HowAboutWe

solvate — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 22:36:48 +0000

HowAboutWe is about putting the date back in dating. You say “How about we…” and fill in the dots with dates you’d have fun going on. Magical dates. Simple dates. Wild dates. Lovely dates.

Each day we’ll send you new dates that match your interests. And, of course, we’ll send the dates you propose to people who might like them. Then you can check out people’s profiles, message each other, and go out.

We think people are at their best when they’re doing things they really like to do. That’s what HowAboutWe is all about.
