Social networking sites - Video
Millions of men use Grindr, an all-male, location-based networking app that caters to gay, bi and curious men, as a means of meeting other eligible men.
Grindr is an app that uses GPS and Wi-Fi technologies to determine each users location and create a list of users who are close to him.
According to a company press release from February 2010, since the inception of the app in early 2009, approximately 1,000 to 2,000 new users have signed up every day.
Thirty percent of the apps users check the app daily, and 44 percent check their accounts on a weekly basis.
The app has caught some flack because some users use it to find short-term relationships or to meet for casual sex.
As a dating tool, its hit or miss, said Joshua Dean, a senior studying English and Grindr user. Rarely will you find someone who is looking for Mr. Right rather than Mr. Right Now.
Some said that they see the benefit of the app.
Personally, I think its a great piece of technology, from a psychological standpoint anyway, said Nick Papworth, a sophomore who has not used Grindr. And what I mean by that is ... well, not everyone has gaydar and not everyones gaydar is always very good. Mines certainly not, and if I had my way, Id know whos gay and whos not just by looking at my phone.
Granted, not everyone uses it, but if everyone did, I think wed all be a little more comfortable with each other.
The app announced that it reached more than 3 million users in 192 countries in November 2011.

The social media firm wants students to help combat the mountain of discarded hardware by building a biodegradable server that can be flung on to the compost
Facebook set up its Open Compute project with the aim of designing affordable, eco-friendly servers, and now has thrown down the gauntlet to students at Purdue University in the U.S., to come up with a design for a dissolvable server chassis, the Daily Mail reports.
"We think there's enormous potential here, as servers are sometimes replaced as often as every two to three years. And even though the steel in those server chassis is usually recycled, we think it's worth exploring designs that retain the needed resiliency but push the boundaries of sustainability," Open Compute said of the ambitious project.
According to the paper, the housings are typically made from steel, which can be recycled, but the project aims to move toward an even more sustainable design made from entirely biodegradable materials, according to a report on businessinsider.com.
If the project is a success it could see the creation of a computer server that will eventually break down entirely and decompose after it is discarded, the paper said.
