  • Episode #68 Money2Byrne: How Pigeons Influenced the Tinder Swipe Feature Episode Summary: On today's episode of Money2Byrne, David W Byrne, your host, will be discussing the interesting story behind how pigeons influenced the popular Tinder swipe feature. Tune in as we explore the unexpected ways in which animal behavior research has influenced modern technology. Key Takeaways: Animal behavior research has been used to develop and improve modern technology in surprising ways. The popular dating app Tinder was inspired by research on pigeon behavior. Pigeons are able to distinguish between different visual stimuli and learn to peck at specific images in exchange for food rewards. This behavior was used as a model for the swipe feature on Tinder, where users swipe left or right on potential matches based on visual cues. Show Notes: Introduction (00:00:00): Welcome to Money2Byrne, the podcast that looks at the lighter side of business. I'm your host, David W Byrne, and today we'll be discussing the fascinating story of how pigeons influenced the popular Tinder swipe feature. Body (00:01:00): The story of how pigeons influenced Tinder begins with research conducted in the 1960s by psychologist BF Skinner. Skinner conducted experiments to study how animals learn, focusing on how pigeons learn to peck at specific images in exchange for food rewards. Skinner's research found that pigeons were able to distinguish between different visual stimuli and learn to associate specific images with food rewards. This behavior was used as a model for the swipe feature on Tinder, where users swipe left or right on potential matches based on visual cues. Tinder co-founder, Sean Rad, has cited Skinner's research as a key influence on the development of the app's swipe feature. Rad saw the potential to apply Skinner's research to the dating world, creating a simplified system for users to quickly swipe through potential matches based on visual attraction. Conclusion (00:10:00): So there you have it, the unexpected story of how pigeons influenced the popular Tinder swipe feature. It's a reminder that animal behavior research has had a much greater impact on modern technology than we may realize.
