BRADES—Caribbean people looking for love have a new platform to help them find that special someone.
Island XoXo, a new dating website targeting Caribbean nationals, went live on June 8. XoXo means Kisses and Hugs, according to the Urban Dictionary.
Developer Sherylene Dyer, a national of Montserrat, said the launch represents another thrust towards realising the dream of a united and integrated Caribbean.
Unlike many dating websites, Island XoXo "is not exclusively for romantic hopefuls, but also caters to those interested in meeting and mingling with Caribbean people for either friendship or social gatherings," Dyer said.
They can interact with other Caribbean people through a variety of media to include email, instant messaging, and group chats.
The site also aims to make finding suitable romantic prospects easier. Registered members can personalise their profiles, upload photos and videos, create and join groups, seek and give relationship advice, and create and manage blogs.
"Singles can browse all members or utilise advanced filters to narrow prospects. Other features include a Flirt Box, chatroom, a variety of privacy settings, and a Shy Tool that allows individuals to blur their faces until they are ready to reveal their facial identity," Dyer said.
The site is owned and operated by Island XOXO LLC of Houston, Texas.
