Launched by a Nigerian, the app that helps you find other people with the same birthday with you I believe is both exciting and has the opportunity to go viral and engage users with new exciting birthday activities and connections. Here is how..
Find My Birthday Mates is an app launched by a Nigerian Kanayo O. that connects to social networks and finds those with the same birthdays with you and connects, it also looks for those in the same area as you so you could organize a collective celebration, may be dinner or even a party.
Apps like these are very exciting especially when used for the first time, they are fun to try. Discovery is fun and so is connecting with new people and almost everyone will be tempted to give them a try when the first use them. Any app that gives you the opportunity to connect also gets the opportunity to go viral in return when you invite new people or try to reach your network using the app.
But we have seen apps that go viral quickly without any utility use (they are only fun the first time) and then disappear quickly. www.birthday-mates.com can thank their lucky stars that birthdays don't just happen once in a lifetime, it's a yearly occurence. And, if they can build out more features, like help users organize birthday events and have notifications when a new birthday mate moves to your city, they can be as useful as the apps we use daily and can't imagine living without.
