Living in a world dominated by social media aimed at promoting human connection, it is often surprising that at times, individuals can still find themselves quite lonely. In the best case, this may result in some much-needed alone time, but in the worst, it means that you might be missing a partner for your leisurely game of tennis, the counterpart to your 1v1 soccer match, or the friend to go jogging with after work.
Santa Barbara-raised YouTube sensation Rachel Ballinger (sister of Colleen Ballinger a k a Miranda Sings), along with Elizabeth Arnold and Anthony Leimeister, have teamed together to launch their app, FLIP, aimed at creating a solution to this issue.
FLIP connects people living within the same area who share similar athletic and recreational interests, promoting connectivity and community in a means that may become an essential tool for meeting like-minded individuals in the modern age.
