Find A Hobby (And Some Friends) On UrbanOrca

When you move to or visit a new place, you bring your hobbies, tastes, and preferences with you, but discovering and finding people in your new surrounding who enjoy the same niche activities and cat videos you do isn't easy. Even in our social media-saturated, Facebook-sponsored world.So, today Toronto-based UrbanOrca is jumping into the hot online-to-offline market by launching a social network for realworld activities. And UrbanOrca wants to distinguish: The platform isn't for friend discovery that ends in dating, or checking up on the friends you already know, UrbanOrca is for people living in bustling urban centers who are looking for platonic relationships with people and groups that share the same interests. Whether that's jogging, playing chess, Trout fishing, coding, is up to you, UrbanOrca just provides a Twitter-meets-Meetup.com model that's simple and easy for you to use in your quest for discovery.
