Skout is a global mobile dating and social networking application founded in 2007 by Christian Wiklund and Niklas Lindstrom, later acquired by The Meet Group. It allows users to find friends or romance nearby or anywhere in the world using location-based metrics. A core viral feature is its "Shake to Chat" function, which instantly pairs users with a random stranger currently shaking their phone at the same time. The app also features massive live video streams where broadcasters collect digital gifts. You can review their community standards at skout.com.
