Coffee Meets Bagel Uses Votes to Select a User's Profile Images

— February 12, 2016 — Tech
Choosing a profile image on a dating site can be extremely difficult for many, making the Coffee Meets Bagel app an ideal anonymous solution that lets users vote on which picture is more widely appreciated. This is ideal for consumers interested in online dating apps such as Tinder or Bumble, as the Coffee Meets Bagel acts as a preemptive method to finding out if one's profile pictures reel in the results they want.

Coffee Meets Bagel is designed to help users in their photo selections, using votes as data-driven testament to which images work best in an online dating environment. Users can vote on the photos as a way to crowdsource which one works best and then move on to the dating portion of the app in search of potential romances.
Trend Themes
1. Data-driven Image Selection - Using crowd-sourced votes to determine the most effective profile pictures could be applied to various industries, such as online shopping platforms, to help customers make better purchasing decisions.
2. Preemptive User Feedback - Implementing a system where users can receive feedback and votes on their digital content before launching it could benefit industries such as social media platforms, allowing users to optimize their content strategies.
3. Crowdsourcing Decision-making - Applying the concept of allowing users to vote on decisions can revolutionize industries like market research, where companies can obtain quick and valuable insights from a large pool of participants.
Industry Implications
1. Online Dating Apps - Online dating platforms could explore integrating voting systems to help users select their profile pictures, enhancing their chances of attracting potential matches.
2. E-commerce - E-commerce platforms could implement voting features to allow users to get feedback and opinions on their product images, optimizing their online sales strategy.
3. Digital Content Creation - Content creation platforms could adopt a voting mechanism that allows creators to receive feedback and votes on their content ideas, enabling them to create more engaging and relevant material.
