Glimps app for iPhone and iPad

SAY Hello!
Get a true Glimps and meet someone new
At Glimps, your profile is nothing more than a 15 second video. This is your opportunity to say hello: an online conversation starter. Keep the ball rolling by replying to somebody’s profile question. By doing this, you’ll get a true Glimps behind the profile – and the person.
Here’s your chance to show people who you really are. Share a short story or quick fact about yourself – maybe even your opinion on a topical issue, or you want to keep it more light-hearted: simply share a joke or ask a funny question instead. Whatever you choose, you decide how to reveal a Glimps of yourself to others in your 15 seconds.
Enjoy and have fun finding someone new!

Philosophy
At Glimps, we’re aiming to create a platform where you can get a real-life glimpse behind a person you meet online. Through our unique video profiles, we hope to give you both verbal and nonverbal cues. These two types of communication are essential in order to find someone you’d be interested in meeting in the real world.
Verbal communication refers to the sharing of information between individuals. What type of language does he or she use? What does their voice sound like? How fast do they talk?
Nonverbal communication refers to everything that isn’t speech. The way someone talks; their eye movements, body language and the energy that comes with it. And hopefully: the smile on a face or the twinkle in an eye.

All these nonverbal cues speak louder than words. Experiencing both forms of communication together is crucial in finding a person you really like.

One of our biggest goals was to create a social platform that is both simple and accessible. We have made good progress, but we are constantly working to fine-tune the result.

Glimps is free to use. We simply provide a platform where you have a better chance of finding someone you really like.

HOW DOES GLIMPS WORK
At Glimps, there are three important things to know...

1. Create your profile with a 15 second video. This is where you say hello!

2. In the Discovery, you can rank a person by pressing Dismiss, Snooze or Reply.
Snooze = the person you see is put on-hold
Reply = you find the person interesting and would like continue chatting
Dismiss = that person is not someone you are interested in.

3. Found an interesting person? Start the conversation by replying with a recorded video answer of your own. Show them who you really are!

How to use your 15 second recording time
Share something about yourself: something interesting or funny or maybe a little crazy. Or maybe something that makes you unique, or simply your interests or opinion on a topical issue. Give people a look into your life at work, something you do every day or what you like to eat or do in your spare time. Anything you share acts as a Glimps: and you’re sharing that Glimps with somebody who might be interested in taking one.
