After home, the random menu item is the most clicked button. I remember analysing the data once and seeing that one user hit random 100 times in a day. I agree however that it is technical. It would be good to rebrand this to make it more friendly. Personally I'd love to see us combine nearby, random into some kind of explore feature. We can do so much better than a button that just takes you to a random page. On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 1:21 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Amir E.
