Oh the pageantry of the games, the patriotism, the thrill of competition, and the almost infinite possibilities of hooking up, thanks to a location-aware dating app.
WeTrip hopes its focus on travel activities will set it apart in the inundated social travel market, but it will need to learn lessons from all who've gone before (and already pivoted).
