OMG GOOGLE ROMANCE <3 <3 <3!!!

Chapium writes "Google Romance (Beta) is a place where you can post all types of romantic information and, using our Soulmate Search(TM), get back search results that could, in theory, include the love of your life. Then we'll send you both on a Contextual DateTM, which we'll pay for while delivering to you relevant ads that we and our advertising partners think will help produce the dating results you're looking for. With this addtion has Google gone too far with its data collection?"

    What's amazing is how effectively we've created 1984 and in how little time we've done it.

    Depending on you how you look at that claim, one might say we've actually been quite slow though. ;-)

    OMG GOOGLE ROMANCE <3 <3 <3!!!

    For those of you having difficulty with the above emoticons, take note they can be read in either of 2 ways:

    OMG GOOGLE ROMANCE less-than-three less-than-three less-than-three!!!

    -- Which means on a scale of 10, this site only rates a "3"

    OMG GOOGLE ROMANCE conical-penis-with-balls, conical-penis-with-balls, conical-penis-with-balls

    -- Which makes no sense whasoever, must be some kind of April fool's joke.

    My Google Soulmate Search found an overweight girl living in her father's garage with orange cheeto stained fingers sucking down a Diet Mountain Dew posting messages on /. about how April Fools Day stories just aren't funny.

    She is my delicate flower.

    Flowers. Music. Personal advice. E-greetings. Later on, depending on how our long-term opt-out natural-language-based monitoring system thinks things are going, personalized thank you notes, romantic getaway offers, various intimate pharmaceutical come-ons, engagement and bridal wear catalogs you know the drill.
