By Christine Zosche 

Facebook Dating is already a thing and, if a new application being tested by the Facebook NPE Team gains enough traction for an official rollout, Facebook speed dating may become a thing. (Adweek)

Facebook is testing a video speed-dating app called Sparked. (The Verge)

Unlike dating app giants such as Tinder, Sparked users don’t swipe on people they like or direct message others. Instead, they cycle through a series of short video dates during an event to make connections with others. (TechCrunch)

According to Sparked’s website, the free app has no public profiles, though you do need to have a Facebook profile. There’s no iOS or Google Play Sparked app yet. It’s browser-based, at least for now. (Engadget)
