WooMe is a fun, interactive, and best of all, free, speed dating site. Its focus on video and audio simulate real-life interaction, which can often be fleeting (sessions range from 1 to 2 minutes), over lengthy profiles appeals to young tech-savvy users.
Users can find or create their own sessions based on interests – invite friends or strangers to join you. Immediately after the session, decide who woo’d you and take things to the next level.
