Facebook to Turn Into a Dating Site?

December 18, 2007

On Thursday, Facebook will be announcing the launch of Little Black Book, a new way for Facebook users to connect with Match.com daters.

According to The New York Times, once people are signed up to this new service, the users of Little Black Book will receive potential matches from Facebook users and non-Facebook users who are signed up with Match.com—try saying that ten times!

Considering the fact that I'm still peeved about Beacon, I'm going to keep my distance from Facebook for awhile. Although it's not too shabby of an idea. . .Stay connected with friends while meeting prospective mates online—badabingbadaboom!

Ugh, I'm so sick of facebook trying to fix what isn't broken! The reason I'm on it is because it doesn't have all of the ridiculous features that make Myspace so annoying, and now it just keeps adding. :(

i really liked how facebook wasn't as complicated as myspace, so that's why i joined. now when i scroll through friend's profiles, they're as jumbled and long as those ridiculously filled myspace pages!

Oh, yeah and all those people that just ask random people to be their online friend b/c they need a higher number of friends than one of their other friends. WTF? A number on a website does not correspond to actual popularity. Seriously, folks.

Me too. Like what the hell is superpoke!? and why would i want that? i have friends with so much crap on their page it is not worth scrolling through to even find their wall. I just don't really do facebook anymore.

I miss the old Facebook...It was simple. I think the simplicity of it is what it made it so great, unlike Myspace everyones facebook page clean and crisp. Now there is so much stuff going on I hate logging on.
