Not really a horrible idea

[mikael_j]

I'm not saying this is a great idea but somehow the basic idea of integrating a dating/matchmaking service into something else sort of makes sense to me, but maybe that's because I'm one of those people who would rather meet someone I have something in common with.

It would of course be very hard to implement but the basic idea is interesting, kind of like integrating a matchmaking service into Facebook (no, not as a third party app, as an integrated component where you can look for people in your area who are available and who seem to be compatible with you), but then I'm looking at this from the point of view of someone who would like to try coding said functionality using the available data...
