Launched | Nov 1, 2012[1] |
Zumbl was an online chat service where users could converse with strangers anonymously.[2] Users could "tag" each other on the basis of their conversations, which were indicative of their personality and were reflected in their avatars. Zumbl built users' pseudo-anonymous identities and matched them with strangers who shared common interests.[3]
The service is now defunct.
Awards
Zumbl won Samsung Innovation Awards 2012 on August 9 for the use of sentiment mining technology to find out the users' intent and depict them graphically through the users' avatars.[4]
