This article bothers me for several reasons, mostly given the interviews are all based in NY and are a focal point of the article. As a 24-yr old coming from outside Portland, OR, I don't see this trend much at all with my coworkers or friends. Most have used it once or twice, but not as serious as they make it out to believe. A lot of my friends are in committed relationships or are looking for them. Maybe I am an outlier, but I think outside SF, LA or NY, these dating apps aren't as prevalent as they seem.
Hey all, MS PR guy here (yes I know, cue* the cabbage throwing). Just wanted to let you know we made a subreddit, and MS will answer some questions around Build 2015 announcements next week (.NET, Azure etc). Feel free to post Qs there if you'd like: http://www.reddit.com/r/Microsoft_Build/
