В социальных сетях, в основном все  намерены «зафрендить»  побольше других пользователей.  Приложение Pair  — это социальная сеть, в которой  друг один . Вдвоём — пара,  -Pair-.
В -Pair- можно обновлять статусы, комментировать, публиковать фото, видео и ссылки. Посетитель — один человек, с которым устанавливается связь через приложение — друг, супруг, родственник. Фишка этой сети — можно послать своему самому близкому человеку не фото или сообщение, а виртуальный поцелуй или прикосновение. Рисовать один рисунок, вместе, фактически находясь на разных континентах…

В первые четыре дня с момента выхода Pair, приложение  из магазина App Store   скачали 50 тысяч пользователей  и успели послать друг другу порядка миллиона сообщений…

Будущее сети -Pair- вырисовывается весьма туманно, однако кроме 150 тыс. долларов от Y Combinator, Pair получил на развитие средства от генерального директора  социальной сети  Path .

-Pair-, теперь  лишь для iPhone и iPod Touch, но в скором времени появится версия для Android.

Идея -Pair-  осенила основателей этой сети, после переезда из Канады в Калифорнию, где они намеревались работать над  другим проектом. Думается, на ход их мыслей повлияла необходимость поддерживать связь с близкими, преодолевая все неудобства и преграды.

Thank You!

The past month has been a really exciting time for us. When we launched Pair, and it got a truly amazing reception, we were overjoyed. Nothing means more to us than knowing that our users love Pair, and that it actually helps them improve their relationships. In our first month on the App Store, Pair has been downloaded by over 220,000 people, and that number is growing every day!

Today, we’re really excited to announce that we’ve closed our first round of funding. Our goal was to only take investment from people who understand what we were trying to do, and believed in our vision. I’m proud to say that I think we’ve accomplished that. For more information on our funding, check out the TechCrunch article that broke the news!

I want to call out one investor in particular. That investor is YCombinator. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the help of the amazing partners and team at YCombinator, and we can’t thank them enough.

Also, thank you to our users! You guys are the greatest users a company could hope for, and we’ve been loving all the great feedback you’ve been sending in, so keep it coming!

Today has been incredibly exciting.

We’re proud to announce that on our first day of being live on the iPhone app store, we hit top 10 in the social networking category in the US! In some places like Singapore, we’re number 2! We’re really happy that you guys love the product so much, and we promise to keep working as hard as we can to improve your experience.

Our friends over at Ark.com made this cute image to congratulate us on our release. We wanted to share it with you.

Thank you guys for all the support on Twitter and Facebook. And make sure to share Pair with your friends.

Introducing Pair

We had a problem. We had just moved to Mountain View, but our girlfriends were still in Canada. We tried using text message, and Facebook to stay in touch, but we really felt like there should be a better way to stay in touch with our partners. We realized that we were sending over 90% of our messages to a single person using tools that were designed to send messages to everyone you know. There didn’t seem to be a better way. So we made one :)

Pair is a brand new messaging app that we like to refer to as Super SMS. Our goal is to make Pair the first thing that pops into your mind when you want to share something with your partner. These days, it’s not only text messages that you want to share, but also photos, video, your location, and even things like sketches. Instead of treating these other types of messages like second class citizens, we treat them the same as text messages. This creates a very fun and intimate timeline between you and your partner, and helps you feel close even when you’re apart.

Our other goal with Pair was to provide some real-time features so that you know your partner is looking at the same thing as you are, at the very same time. ThumbKiss is a feature that lets you see where your partner’s finger is on the screen, and when your thumb meets theirs, both of your iPhones will vibrate. It’s the next best thing to a real kiss! We also included a fun feature called Live Sketch, where you and your partner can sketch together in real-time. Our users love this for things like playing Tic-tac-toe.

We also have some great utility features as well. Using Pair, you can send your location to your partner with the push of a button. This works great for meeting up with your partner at a new place, or just letting them know you got home safe. We’ve also added a great feature called Shared Tasks. This is a todo list that you both share so that you can remind your partner to pick up some milk on the way home!

We’ve have a few more feature that couples will love, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I’ll let you discover those yourself :)

We’d love to hear your feedback, so send any comments/suggestions/complaints to hello@trypair.com

Pair is free, and available in the iPhone App Store today!
