Well, don’t file it under ‘Ripley’s believe it or not’ because Face Book was always about – bringing people together. It is after all the biggest social networking site on date. Nor take it as ‘strange but true’ because a facebook matrimonial application was something waiting to happen. It was only a matter of time before someone grabbed the idea for all its worth.
‘Marry in a week’ is world’s first matrimonial app on facebook. http://apps.facebook.com/marryinaweek.com in the online matrimony space and it deals with things very differently compared to matrimonial websites.
‘Marry in a week’ is world’s first matrimonial app on facebook. http://apps.facebook.com/marryinaweek.com in the online matrimony space and it deals with things very differently compared to matrimonial websites.
‘Marry in a week’ synchs marriage relevant information on facebook with your profile on the app. Since most young marriageable people, maintain a large network of friends it’s impossible to fake information such as like marital status, work, education, living in etc in your facebook account as it is viewed by friends
It asks questions on person’s value system, life style and interests. Since all responses are socially acceptable, people will likely give their genuine response and offer insights about themselves. The big idea is to ensure match making based on openness to showcase and celebrate individuality.
The last and the most important element in this app is the concept of expiry of daily matches, expression of interest and received interest. This is to ensure that both sides act fast and respond with an interest whenever they like a profile. This ensures that one could actually find a match in a week and all going well may even marry in a week.
“Marryinaweek” works on 3 premises – Relevance, Availability and Interest.
Whereas matrimonial websites operate on the back of powerful search engines which offer endless clutter of matches, most suitably dressed up to look good. But out of these hundreds of match results, only a small number is actually available to you because people maintain different timelines and priorities than you.
The fact that even when people receive interest there is always a temptation to wait for an even better match. This causes a “scattered availability” problem. Where one either side of the transaction people needs are not aligned.
Not to mention that matrimony in India just like our parliament is based on caste. Though officially we maintain that caste is a social evil but we do precious little about this. What about the growing number of young people who do not believe or want to follow caste is there an option? As these websites seek compulsorily caste inputs.
The profile on these websites do not stress on values, interest and lifestyle as if these were not important in the matter of marriage.
Finding your soul mate on a facebook app is the route going to be taken by our future generations. Its the simplicity and efficiency that makes it impossible to ignore.
You Sign up by clicking on http://apps.facebook.com/marryinaweek and fill up the questionnaire.
The app receives the profile data from FB. The credibility of the data is high because (i) the source is Facebook and because (ii) only that profile is taken that has 25 or more friends. This precaution solves the problem of fake profiles greatly.
The app. churns these profiles, finds the compatibility quotient and provides you up to six matches every day based on your profile details. These daily profiles expire in a week.
If you ‘like’ a match, click ‘express interest’ button. If the liked match accepts your interest, then you are a double match and will automatically view each other’s contact details to take the process forward offline.
Can it get simpler than this?
If you want to accelerate the process you can also use the wonderful feature ‘Find who likes you’ and reach all your relevant matches in one go and get response from them within a week.
The best part is that it is completely private and confidential. It has no privacy issues. Your profile match remains confidential to the extent that it becomes visible only to the other match of the equation. Your parents can see your matrimonial app activity but only if you permit them access to it.
Whats more! there is presently no charge to use the app marryinaweek.com.
