A review of Badoo
Site: Badoo
Members: 15,377,344
Features: Badoo allows users to create profiles, post updates (which can include uploading video), and upload pictures (you can tag members in the photos). Other users can friend, message, and rate photos.
Review: Badoo is a really simple site that at one point had a tone of traffic but that rush looks to be on the decline. It really is a glorified photo rating service that allows a little bit more on the profiles and has a decent messaging system. There aren’t multiple ways to connect to people or different options for sorting through content. There seems to be a large Spanish-speaking contingent on this site.
I really can’t figure out how they have 15 million registered profiles. There must be one region where they have the dominate social networking site, one region that just doesn’t know any better.

Badoo has so much members cause of their scam. They are tricking people into giving their mail adress with password. Mostly it’s MSN addresses. I admit, a lot of people are ignorant but the fact is and stays that Badoo then is sending all the people in a persons address list a kind of invitation without the person knowing it. People go and visit then and that’s how Badoo gets so much members. A lot of things about Badoo can be found on Google. But for example also on McAfee Anti Virus site, where Badoo has numerous warnings of (and I quote) “This site is sending spam” / “This site had adware, spyware or viruses” / “This site has phising or other scams”.
I tried the site for 2 days (after years of stupid emails asking me to join my friend, yadday, yadda) and I am fed up already! I just deleted my profile.
Badoo is a lousy dating site filled with hungry males. I got about 25 messages from perfect strangers living in my area (most of them not smarter than “hey! beautiful picture”, “hello cutie” or “what’s up?”).
Useless!
