There was a time not too long ago that I probably would have found the thought of this app completely ridiculous, but now that I'm a working mom with an insane schedule and not a lot of time to just hang out with potential future friends to see if we have enough in common to make a second coffee date, I actually get the concept of this app.

There’s a new app out called Tastemates and it's not a dating app, but rather one that helps people connect with other people who have the same interests. Users swipe to show what TV shows, movies or music they're into.

The, as the app gets to know the user a little better, it recommends other things you might like and then Tastemates will show you the activity of other app users who have similar tastes, so you can connect with them if you want to.
