Facebook Dating
Facebook recently started working with a site called Thread to tap into the online dating world. Basically what Thread does is connects you to your friends’ friends on facebook. This seems pretty interesting. No new user names and passwords, no cost, and I’m sure you’re already on facebook. Here’s a video from the CEO of Thread explaining it.
He’s absolutely right in that not everyone is on a dating site, but certainly almost everyone is on facebook. What I like about this service is that you already have a reference, and one of your “friends” already knows that person. But what I don’t like is that it really limits you to the people that are pretty much within your social network already. Everyone I met online dating, there’s no way I would have met them through Thread.
