Who Is Instagram?
WHO IS Tagged?
Tagged is a social discovery website that allows members to search other users’ profiles to share tags and virtual gifts.
WHAT THEY DO?
Tagged gives people a platform to interact with new people from across the world and play games or chat.
HOW THEY WORK?
Tagged is a free-to-use online dating service that gives users a platform to meet new people and talk online. Tagged users create profiles using their email address, Facebook account, or Google account the same as they would do on other social media platforms. After creating a profile, users get permission to add photos, share videos, make friends, and join groups. Tagged game functions are unique and allow users to own, buy, and sell other users like a fantasy team.
BEST PRACTICE:
Tagged gives users the ability to join groups to connect and interact with more like-minded people based on their interests.
Tagged allows its users to customize their profile URL.
Tagged features also encourage users to earn virtual gold for completing actions such as answering a marketing survey. The gold can be used to buy digital gifts for new friends. The virtual gold can also be purchased with real-world currency.
Tagged also lets its users upgrade their account to VIP status for a monthly fee, earning them a VIP logo, more gold, and the ability to see who views their profile, among others.
