Disrupting online dating - valid thoughts?
revicon: ... The big thing the article seems to skip over is the fact that people on an online dating site are actually LOOKING to date someone.  While people on your friends of friends social network may or may not be.  And approaching someone online without that context established is considered creepy, and especially so considering you're putting your 1st degree friend in the middle of it.Someone may argue that the search should be restricted to facebook ppl with "looking for guys/girls" checked in their profile, but in my experience almost noone checks those for fear of looking desperate to their other friends.
