Facebook Reaches Its Natural Conclusion As A Dating App (buzzfeed.com)
Facebook will soon include a dating feature in its service, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced at the company's F8 developer conference in San Jose Tuesday. From a report: The service will throw Facebook into a sphere it's long been adjacent to but never entered. The social network already has online dating's critical ingredient, a robust graph of people's connection, and services like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge have been built on top of it. Now, it's getting into the dating game itself.
"There are 200 million people on Facebook who list themselves as single, so clearly there's something to do here," Zuckerberg said. "Today, we are announcing a new set of features coming soon, around dating." The feature will be opt-in, and will not match users with people they're already friends with. Update: Facebook has clarified that married people too can use the dating service.

Why, despite the number of folks posting submissions are we getting buzzfeed sourced articles with no submitter except msmash or BeauHD? Seriously - I had to go back two pages on the firehose feed to find any submitted articles except one AC submitted one.
