Comment on Pair (YC W12), The Social Network For Two, Launches An Android App

Comments

"Though some have dubbed Pair 'the perfect sexting app,' co-founder Oleg Kostour says the most-common activity on the app is actually doodling."

Anything to share about what people are doodling?

I would hope that out of common courtesy they aren't taking a look through that. I'm not naive enough to believe they can't, just that this appears to facilitate private and intimate communication, so I would hope they don't.

How do they know this in a way that is respecting the privacy of their users?

Usage statistics on how often the doodle functionality is used over photo sharing would be one way. You can collect these statistics anonymously or query these without viewing individual records.

  SELECT action_type, COUNT(*) FROM pair_actions GROUP BY action_type;
