Zumbl built users' pseudo-anonymous identities and matched them with strangers who shared common interests.{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/Chat-with-strangers/articleshow/15796299.cms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425154645/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-27/news/33424025_1_chat-strangers-avatar|url-status=live|archive-date=2013-04-25|title=Chat with strangers. |date=2012-08-27 |work=The Times of India|access-date=2012-10-05}}
