Grindr hits 500,000 members

Today Grindr, the largest all-male mobile location-based networking service reached its landmark 500,000th member and is still growing.

Since the inception of this innovative social networking application in early 2009, approximately 1,000 to 2,000 new users have been signing up every day.

Joel Simkhai, Grindr's founder and CEO, says, "Grindr's growth has come from one source, our users. Grindr users are telling their friends about Grindr, they are blogging and Twittering about Grindr, and posting their success stories on their Facebook status updates."

The app, which runs on iPhone and iPod touch, uses location-based technology like GPS, cell towers and Wi-Fi to determine the user’s location. A quick tap delivers profiles, photos, and information of nearby guys. A user’s profile is available in seconds, as are chat functions and sending additional photos or even a user’s map location.
