Badoo Site Review

Badoo.com Review

Visit Badoo

Badoo is an interesting social networking site that unfortunately made us feel very uncomfortable. Badoo is like a chat room, dating site and picture rating site disguised as a social network.

Although users are required to 18 years old we felt the site focused too much on chatting with strangers and not about building your personal network of friends. Within moments of creating a profile we were braided with instant messages from people all over the world.

Although you can set your security options to be as public or private as you want, we felt the best way to get a representative feel of the site was to keep our profile as public as possible.  This just resulted in an abundance of spam messages from random people. One or two of these messages is normally acceptable, but we had more than a dozen in only a few days.

Additionally, members are encouraged to participate in a member photo rating game. Users judge other users with a rating of 1 to 10 based on their attractiveness.

We found that Badoo does not have groups or other types of community that allow you to meet people with similar interests. Additionally, you can’t add videos and Badoo doesn’t have a video section or music section like you’d find on most other social networking sites. It seemed like Badoo was more like a personal blog with an instant messenger.
