Click vs Ruggles

Click gets to know you well and then introduces you to the right people. It may be to discuss news or it may be to start a new business. Whatever excites you right now is better enjoyed with someone who gets you. Click will connect you with this someone. Life is better when you fill it with interesting and meaningful conversations. What Click does • Captures your thoughts, ideas, and interests • Matches you with people you’re likely to hit it off with • Helps you think through decisions • Brings you relevant news and explains what’s going on • Finds deals on products and services that fit you How it works 1. Have a light and fun conversation with a pretty savvy AI 2. Get introductions to people you’re most likely to click with 3. If you need anything, just say so What you can use it for • Meet interesting people you wouldn’t otherwise • Find investors, partners, even first customers for your business ideas • Get clarity on what's going on in the world and around you • Choose best deals on relevant products and services • Enjoy interesting shows, books, and articles Why it’s different At its core, Click is a social network the way social networks were supposed to be. It’s not about grabbing your attention with endless scrolls. It’s about finding those rare people who fulfill your life by the virtue of their ideas, personalities, interests. You do the same for them. Click is about building your true social network not by chance, with whoever happened to be on your path, but with like-minded people who need to be found. People with whom you’re meant to go through life.

Ruggles is for Northeastern students who want to find people they actually have something in common with. Most people you'd get on with are already on campus. You just never cross paths with them. Ruggles lets you look for them directly. HOW IT WORKS You add tags to your profile. Where you're from, down to your city and high school. Your major, your courses, your dorm, the clubs you're in and where you did co-op. The sports you play and the teams you follow. The films, shows, games, books and artists you're into. Then you search more than one tag at once. Barcelona and Soccer. Lagos and Computer Science. Interstellar and Mr Robot. You see everyone on campus who has all of them, and what else you have in common. Your top matches are the people who share your rarest tags. Two people who both picked the same high school have more to talk about than two people who both like music, so that's who comes first. GROUPS If a few of you share something specific, you can make a group around it and invite the people who have those tags. Once three people are in, the group opens. You can chat, suggest a time and place to meet, and see who's coming. Saying you can't make it is one tap, and nobody sees who said no. FEED AND ASKS The feed is posts from students, newest first. Nothing is ranked or pushed at you. Asks are for small things you need help with right now. A spotter at the gym, someone to sit with at the library, someone to walk into a club meeting with. They disappear after a couple of hours. MESSAGES Nobody can message you until you accept them. You can block or report anyone, or any post, and every report is read within 24 hours. WHO CAN JOIN You need a @northeastern.edu email to sign up, so everyone here is a student. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings at any time. Ruggles is an independent app made by a student. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Northeastern University.
