A new start up called Hitch.me is taking love and social networks to LinkedIN. Social networks are very important parts of everyone’s life. A few years ago you may not have wanted your parents to know that you met your fiance on match.com, today it’s almost common practice to date someone from Facebook or Twitter.
Dating, after meeting through a social network, can get the small talk and the uncomfortable part out of the way. After all social networks typically reveal your likes, your dislikes and your personality at a more comfortable level.

According to Hitch.me’s founder Naveed Nadir, Hitch hopes to connect business people who want to meet online for dating but are concerned about privacy. The 29 year old founder is married with children and according to his friends he couldn’t find the “good people” on other big dating websites. Nadir says he started hitch.me and is using linked in to give it a sense of legitimacy.
Although there are plenty of people out there that fudge, or lie on social networks, their Linked In profile is believed to be the most reliable as Linked In is about connected people at a corporate and business level.
Hitch.me is using a virtual currency model. Users can buy 300 credits for $10 to send smiles, short messages and private messages with their credits and re-up credits at their leisure.
