Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Dmitry Lumpovs, from FewMinutes:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to the FewMinutes?
A: fewMinutes.com raised to help people socialize during this pandemic time. Many feel lonely and abandoned being in depression and anxiety. Amount of social events with live interaction is limited or none. It’s very difficult to find new friends or even someone to talk to. When looking at the spectrum of existing apps and dating websites we realized that existing ways of connecting people are tedious. Even social networks mostly addressing connections with friends. Other solutions employ algorithms that fail to beat human chemistry. It takes significant amount of time to engage with someone and see each other live.
We thought about the service that can help find someone to chat while at home or on the go without
additional bureaucracy of filling profiles, swiping and texting. The goal is to get to the computer, and start video chatting as soon as possible.
