A new alliance

According to the Associated Press, match.com is teaming up with Facebook, with two features: Match My Friends and Little Black Book.

Match my Friends -- where a friend of family member can set up a profile for a person, with their approval -- is allegedly already on Facebook, though I could not find it on a cursory search. Little Black Book, basically online dating in Facebook should be launched soon.

A Match executive said that the applications are meant to give those who are on the edge about online dating a little push.

Facebook users, would you use these programs?

Comments

Probably not. Facebook profiles are starting to get as cluttered as peoples myspaces. My facebook profile for ex. doesnt have any traces of those annoying apps.

If I were looking for someone to date on facebook, I'd want them to see just the basics, and not how many "drinks" any ex's might have sent me.
