Sparkify

Sparkify is a free "pre-social" networking app that allows users to select from hundreds of possible common interests (sparks) from twenty diverse categories and then search to find matches in close geographic proximity in order to "spark" a conversation. The conversation could be in person or in a chat function.

Sparkify is geared to matching common interests to "spark" a conversation. It is not geared to dating, business, or social. Of course, anything is possible after you meet someone, but that is up to you. You have your initial icebreakers. Sparkify profiles are short and professional. A first name and last initial, a professional picture, and some very basic personal information are all that are listed. The simplicity and selection of "sparks" to screen for matches of selected common interests that you can change at any time sets Sparkify apart from other social networking apps.
