TORONTO, ONT.—Pink Triangle Press, one of Canada's leading gay and lesbian media organizations, has acquired GuySpy, an online social network for gay men, in a deal announced today.
The acquisition brings together, under one company, GuySpy and the leading gay hookup website, Squirt.org, allowing gay men to sign up for free, browse from millions of profiles and connect with other gay men in their communities.
“We are very excited to add GuySpy to our family of notable properties engaging the gay community,” said David Walberg, Digital Media Chief Executive for Pink Triangle Press. “This acquisition is part of our long-term goal to have greater exposure for Pink Triangle Press and to further grow and expand into an entirely new segment through the GuySpy social network and mobile app.”
GuySpy is a popular online social network for men who like men that allows users to search for men by distance, age, personal stats, sexual positions and more. Users can upload photos, add a personal voice greeting and keep their guys organized through buddy and favorite lists and switch to Travel Mode to see men wherever they go.
The GuySpy mobile dating app makes it easier for guys to connect on their smartphones or tablets, and allows users to view profiles, “like” photos and other postings, send text, video and voice messages as well as the ability to find each other with a GPS-enabled map.
“The app gives users the ability to connect faster and browse through a huge array of profiles of guys seeking to meet, date and connect,” Walberg said. “As we continue to update the app, it will allow GuySpy to expand into new markets and connect new users like never before with the latest mobile technology from iPhone and Android.”
