Dating App Yoke Hooks You Up Based On Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Facebook Data

Yoke Dating SiteFinally, a dating site where you can find someone to actually date, not just sleep with. Newdating app Yokematches you with single friends of friends you're truly compatible with but who don't even need to be Yoke users. Yoke does this by comparing you and their Facebook Likes and listening activity with datasets from Amazon, Netflix, Echonest, and a proprietary college graph.That lets Yoke show you potential dates because "you listen to Lil Wayne and she listens to Jay-Z", or "You went to Stanford and he went to MIT".It's got a dead simple Facebook app interface, andlets you ask mutual friends for introductions.These all combine to give Yoke the power to challenge sites like OkCupid and succeed where strict matchmaking sites like Thread failed.
