The company may be half Jewish, but we’re really getting into the Christmas spirit at Ignighter. We recently converted our new office into a studio and recorded a holiday dance. Check it out!
You and your group should make your own Holiday video!

Yay! We found our group and are ready to tackle the profile. For the sake of this social experiment, we (and our potential dates out there) shall remain blog-nonymous.
Here’s the goal: Come across as being awesome, attract males, and find pictures of ourselves where no one has closed eyes/shots in hands/friends making obscene gestures in the background, etc.
#1 The group name
Things we are not: Sexy Sistahs, Devilish Divas, NYCBabes08. Things we are: adorable, sarcastic, adventurous, and of course, modest. It is an intense creative process to come up with a name accurately representing multiple people but we’ve gone with “Good Looking Out.” Get it? Cuz we’re good… looking… and we like to go out? Okay, moving on.
#2 Where you know each other from
Do you have a while? Let’s just say we started out as friends, and friends of friends and now we’re all just friends.
#3 Some of our common interests are
Hmmm… to tell the truth or not tell the truth? Ok truth. Our common interests are: eating pizza, watching an entire season of a television show in one day, liquor.
Fake interests that we tell other people we like so as to seem normal: sports (spectator and participatory), snorkeling, hobbies, etc.
Our profile will strike a good balance between the two, and therefore be mostly accurate and trustworthy.
#4 Assign each group member a yearbook superlative (Great question!!!)
Here’s a collection of some of ours:
“Best Party Promoter”
“Most Likely To Save the World”
“Most Likely to Star on a Reality Show”
“Most Likely to Pen Their Memoirs”
#5 Some things we spend a lot of time talking about are
Again, truth? We hate to sound trivial, but don’t want to sound like smarty pantses know-it-alls either. We talk about what most 25 year olds talk about: work (lack of, misery over, ambitions for), boys (lack of, misery over, ambitions for), tv shows, hopes and dreams and butterflies and stuff… Perhaps on our real post we’ll make some allusion to caring about world events and culture.
#6 Some things we like to do together are
We enjoy sitting outside at restaurants because it is always, maybe, definitely, the last time you’ll be able to do it this year. We also enjoy using expired student IDs to get discount admission to museums. Additionally, we enjoy lazing about in parks and on couches and such.
So, this process had us cracking up and we discovered even more things we had in common! We will put up our REAL profile on the Ignighter site this week, but this post was a great exercise that got our creative juices flowing. While you’re checking out the groups that are up you can poss try to ID us… and then we’ll have to kill you. Now, get together with your pals, fix yourselves some cocktails, and get to work on your profile!
Good Looking Out ☺

Today marks the first in an exciting new blog series at Ignighter. A few friends of the Ignighter Guys finally decided to start using the site and they’ve graciously offered to document their experiences on this very blog. If you’ve been hesistant to sign up or you’ve had trouble convincing your friends to join your group, hopefully this very real chronicle from some very real ladies will help clarify what an Ignighter experience is like and help you make the decision to join (or not join). So without further ado, I turn it over to the ladies and their introductory post:
You’ve probably seen us walking through Union Square and thought to yourself, “what could possibly be so funny?” The truth is nothing and everything is funny to two girls who met in the 6th grade when Leonardo DiCaprio was the hotness (still is) and we knew every single line from Empire Records (still do). We’ve been inseparable since then, except when we were separated after 8th grade when one of us moved away. Sadness.
After spending high school and college in different cities, we finally reunited on the streets of NYC (but never above 14th street). Over our years apart, we collected an intricate web of characters who thankfully all ended up on this most fabulous island. The post-college pre-life void (henceforth referred to as The Void) provided many opportunities for all of us to hook up, break up, make up, and six-degrees-of-separation our way through our immediate pool of friends. We love them, this random mix from middle school, high school, college, camp, and work so much that we rarely meet anyone new… and we never thought we’d need to.
Alas, the whole turning 25 thing sort of freaked us out. What happens post-Void? A lot of our friends are settling down, while some are still partying like it’s freshman year. We don’t quite know where to place ourselves. We’re single, but online dating really isn’t cool enough for us (Sorry if we offend. Actually, we tried Match.com for a month, but we weren’t in NYC so it really doesn’t count!). So we’re ready to mix it up. New York has so much untapped potential, but how do we… um, you know… tap that? Haha. Our friends started this online site that seems not as cheesy as anything else we’ve ever heard of. It sort of replicates what happens on those great random NYC nights when you and your girls go out and meet a really fun group of guys to entertain you for a while. So we’re going to try it and be your guide through this brave new world of group dating. We’re going to bring this up with some of our girlfriends to see who is down to do this with us and we’ll let you know how it goes. So here’s hoping there’s a group of guys out there who want to hang out with girls who love laughing, movies from the late 90s, and laying out our adventures for all to read on the Internet.

Last night Current TV premiered Megan Sweeney’s fantastic film documenting “Startup Bootcamp”, Techstars. It was awesome to see the video on real TV rather than just on the Internet. Apparently Current will be reairing it many times in the next couple days, so tune in to try to catch it.
If you don’t get Current or don’t have a chance to see it, here’s the shortened, edited version that aired last night:
If you have three extra minutes, watch this original version instead. More fun, better music, more complete story:
Which do you like better?
