Nine, the dating app, never quite took off. It was a viral hit.Ībout 130,000 of them also signed up for an opaquely described “match-making service” set to launch the next year, though many have questioned whether they knew what they were signing up for. Fifteen million people created collages, including Kourtney Kardashian. To drum up excitement for the app, Lip started a marketing campaign, 2015bestnine, which created a collage of the most popular nine photos that a user had posted the previous year. “Nine is designed to make matches between people focusing more on their personality and inner beauty rather than appearance or status,” Matsumura said. He decided that Instagram, which could show more of a person’s life (or at least the picture perfect version that they want to show), would be a better way to learn about potential matches. Because really, what do we know about those people? Nothing.” At first, matching with someone was an exciting experience, but I soon learned that the thrill died when nobody actually started talking. I quickly downloaded as many apps as I could and started swiping. “At the time, this was somewhat of a rare thing to see in Japan. “During my stay, I was surprised to see that many people were ‘swiping faces’ on apps,” he told Buzzfeed in an email. Matsumura came up with the idea for a better dating app while attending a startup training in San Francisco. Co-founders of Japanese mobile app company Lip Inc., #2015bestnine was going to be so much bigger it would revolutionize dating, they hoped. To its creators, Yusuke Matsumura and Mai Sekiguchi, the program started out as something completely different. All you have to do is type in an Instagram handle from a public account, and it will automatically generate the top nine most-liked posts from 2017.Īlso, the 2017 app version has been redesigned so that you can choose to display your photo grid vertically - perfect for sharing via Instagram Stories. Just go to the website or download the app for your iPhone. Here’s how you can walk down that proverbial memory lane one last time before we greet 2018 at midnight.
The #bestnine photo grid is an age-old tradition - well, since 2015 - that allows Instagrammers to celebrate their year-ends by automatically generating the most popular photos from 12 months. The end of 2017 is upon us, and now, unlike your average #tbt, you unabashedly post nine of your best photos from the year.
