WhyGoSolo.com - Making Connections Happen

Paul McCartney was right: no more lonely nights thanks to WhyGoSolo.com, a newly launched social network that aims to connect people willing to try new stuff and for some reason don’t have company to do it with, have extra tickets for a concert or sports event, or need to pop up at a family wedding with a date to avoid feeling miserable.

If only Bridget Jones could use WhyGoSolo.com, she’d find a very nicely designed social network by a Washington DC startup where to meet people of her own mindset, not just chat over the internet, but actually get to meet each other, as that’s the ultimate point of this platform. Joining the site is free, and if you are feeling a bit skeptical about the process, bear in mind that you can regulate your privacy settings to avoid people you might not be interested to meet from contacting you. The site works by posting upcoming events in the public Community Board, which features events under different categories, like Music, Sports, Arts, Movies, Tours, etc, and since these listings can be filtered by country, state, or city, you’re bound to find someone close to you that can join you for whatever activity you are interested in doing. Also take a look at the Groups section, in which you’ll find more specific/local communities focusing on stuff like “Seattle Lunch in the Park”, “Washington novel reading” or “Louisville Jogging”.
