Facebook has announced it will add a dating service to its growing list of new products.
The announcement came at Facebook’s F8 conference in San Jose, California.
Facebook has considered adding a dating app for years. But founder Mark Zuckerberg said he felt now is the right time to begin the service. He said that currently, 1 in 3 marriages in the United States starts with an internet relationship.
He added that the dating service will appear within the Facebook app, but users will have complete control over whether they want to use it.
Internet dating is very popular in the U.S. Facebook says its app will provide strong competition to existing sites such as Match, Tinder and OkCupid.
Zuckerberg said the dating app was designed with strong tools to protect the safety and privacy of Facebook users.
During his opening comments at the conference, Zuckerberg repeated many times what he considers to be Facebook’s main goal. He said it is to provide a place for people to build “meaningful relationships.”
Summary
臉書已經考慮要增加約會app 好一陣子了。 但是創立者馬克·祖克柏表示，他覺得現在才是開始這項服務的正確時機。 他表示，最近美國每三個婚姻中就有一個是從網路關係開始發展的。網路約會在美國非常的普遍。 臉書表示，這個app 將會對現有的網站如Match、Tinder 還有OkCupid帶來競爭。祖克柏更在會議強調臉書的主要目的是為了要提供一個讓大家能建立「有意義的關係」的地方。
