i’ iminlikewithyou is a social network that relies on biding as a way to make new friends. The biding occurs by setting up ‘games’. The games are basically questions that other people in the network are called to answer as soon as they are posted. E.g. ‘ if you were to be a superhero who would you be?’ By posting your ‘ game’ you also set up a time limit within which this game is taking place, e.g. 3hours/1 day/ 1 week etc. During these three hours other people in the network set up bids on your question by answering it. When the game is over, you can choose from the five top bidders who has the best answer and add him as a friend. Choosing a winner also lets you talk more with the person through the site. Bidding gives you points, and points make you ‘bigger’ in the network. In that spirit, i’minlikewithyou counts points you have earned through the game and other actions instead of counting how many friends you have.
