Interest <-> Hangout Tag Matching

January 26, 2012

Happy to announce that we just launched the “interest <-> hangout tag matching”. In an effort to make hangout discovery more relevant, we are matching your “interests + likes” with the “tags” entered when a hangout is created near you.

This is what happens when you tell us a little bit about you. You receive an iPhone notification/email when a hangout tag matches one of your interests/likes.

Currently this defaults to 20 miles around you but in your notification settings you can adjust this easily.

Now let’s get your interests and likes in there. Start with going to your Services, connect your Facebook and last.fm, then add more interests under your Likes.

Feel free to ping me on twitter if you have any questions or feedback about this. Enjoy hanging out!
