Nights out are about to get a whole lot bigger with the help of Tinder Social

There's nothing worse than wanting to go on a serious night on the town, but alas, there's not a soul around.

You send a desperate text into the Whatsapp group, asking anyone and everyone to go for a drink or two, hell, you're so desperate you're even tempted to ask your MAM. After sending messages on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat, you still only get a response from one mate that you haven't really talked to in a while. What's the point in only the two of you heading out at all really? Well, that predicament is about to be solved with the emergence of Tinder Social, an app to bring friends of friends together. Many people may raise an eyebrow hearing the word 'Tinder', but do not worry my friends, this app is strictly for groups of people who may slightly know of each other together, making the party only bigger. According to TechCrunch, the social planning app was trialled in Australia and is now ready to expand Tinder Social globally. The app promises to create connections with the people around you, but Tinder Social has a certain edge in creating a group atmosphere, which is much needed for a party/club scene. Tinder CEO Sean Rad confirmed the go-ahead of the app, which will guarantee bigger crowds at events on a particular night.

"Our users were very much focused on immediacy and cared about what they wanted to do tonight... "We made a considerable amount of changes to how it works since the Australia launch and oriented the entire product around going out tonight.”

In using Tinder Social, users can add friends to their group via Facebook and thus match with groups in the nearby area. Tinder Social users can let friends know what their plans are by the means of simply updating their status. People who are already Tinder users can simply choose to opt-in to Tinder Social, seeing their romantic matches and friend groups at the same time. So everyone's happy.
