How do people show their fondness of information?

We complain about our oversupply of information. We treasure it nonetheless. We aren’t shutting down our e-mail addresses. On the contrary, we’re buying pocket computers and cellular modems and mobile phones with tiny message screens to make sure that we can log in from the beaches and mountaintops. These devices are fed by our ever-growing militia of information carriers.

Dating apps haven’t seen much success in public markets so far. Zoosk, an online matchmaker that competes with services like Tinder and Match. com, withdrew its plans for an IPO in May 2015. Match Group’s brands also face competition from later entrants such as Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel and Hitch as well as established services like eHarmony.
