There may be new stars in the making at Woome. The speed-dating site recently launched Woome TV as a way to display the 100,000 to 150,000 video introductions across various sessions – like Nature lovers in San Francisco – conducted on the site daily. After a month of launching it, Woome TV now has 40,000 video introductions to watch publicly, according to Woome CEO and founder Stephen Stokols.
In this video, Stokols gave me a demonstration of Tila Tequila, who became famous from MySpace and is now a host of MTV’s “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.” She’s meeting some random guy for the first time. These video intros are so popular that they’re attracting 15,000 views a day. Not a bad start for Woome TV. And, it certainly raises the question of whether there’s some programming that can be created around this content.
Apparently, MTV thinks so. Or at the least, there’s potentially an interesting marketing campaign that can be done on Woome. Tila’s peeps reached out to Woome to test out the platform. There’s no formal partnership with MTV, just yet. But both sides are talking, said Stokols. Additionally, artists and agents are reaching out to Woome to launch marketing campaigns, whereby members of Woome can “Meet the band.”
Video introductions are private, unless both parties agree to make it public.
It used to be that such meetings were intimate, private affairs. But based on what’s available on the Internet, introductions are pretty innocuous.
