OkCupid iPhone App available

Big news!

It's not yet showing up in the app store, but here's a link that works from any computer with iTunes installed. Or directly from an iPhone.

itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/okcupid/id338701294?mt=8

With the OkCupid app, you can answer match questions, check and write mail, upload photos, do match searches, etc.

Anyone want to be the first to try it and let me know if it works?

(Funny. You'll need to write the comment from your browser, though - the first version of the app doesn't support journals or forums.)

Let me use you in the next blog post

Hey all,

Rudder and I are about to post a new oktrends blog entry about attractiveness, and I need some volunteers to let me scrutinize their photos. Saying yes means I might:

1. include your photo and link to your profile in the post

2. comment about aggregate votes on your profile, based on historical quickmatch voting (recall quickmatch once had looks voting separate from general). In other words, I might say that other users consider you "average" or "hot" or something. We won't use you if you got below average votes, so we won't insult you.

If you're cool with it, just say "yes" in the comments to this journal.  Uhh, keep in mind about 50,000 people read each of our blog posts, so you'll get a lot of free attention for a couple days. It should trail off pretty fast after that, though.

Christian Rudder and I made an XBox 360 Game

In our free time, Rudder and I programmed a video game. The game is called They Came from the Ground.

If you want to try it, I'd love to hear your feedback. You need access to an XBox 360, though.  If you have one, just go to:

Game Marketplace -> Indie Games -> Recently Added

Or you can look it up by name:

Game Marketplace -> Indie Games -> All Games -> T

If you try it, let me know what you think in the comments here. Thanks! I'm especially interested if you can beat the Black and White opponents. They're the two hardest.

Hey all,

A couple things. One, if you don't want to get IM's, good news for you. You can turn them off. Although, as usual, we recommend just adding filters so only your favorites can contact you.

Second, are you experiencing either of these problems today:

1. That you'll be on a page somewhere, and the entire page reloads? I don't mean that it shows a spinning icon in Firefox or IE, or that your "back" button isn't working...I mean that it performed a full reload, as if you'd gone and actually hit reload or refresh in your browser?

2. That sending an IM causes it to show up multiple times, over and over, in the IM box? Grinding it to a halt? For example, you type "hi" and see "hi hi hi hi hi" etc.?

I'm interested in either of these problems. If you have them, can you visit the feedback form and just paste a note to us, with any patterns you notice?

Just commenting in reply to this note won't give me information about your browser, so commenting us through the feedback form:

is preferable.

Thanks!

I'm aware there was a forum topic about this awhile ago, but our code has changed much since then.

IM Bug Fix

If you were having some kind of IM responsiveness issues this weekend, it was probably because of a bug we had that was breaking IM connections.

Fixed...and moving on to other fixes and improvements.

Twitter

Maybe we'll make this game an official release. Maybe not. It's pretty crazy. But in the meantime, I'm posting it here, and you can try it.
