Thread.com

I ran across this article today about utilizing Facebook to help single people meet based on "friends of friends" and existing profile information.

"Thread.com lets singles view profiles of their friends' pals and request introductions. Would-be matchmakers can also use Thread's tools to sort through their own lists, seeking out -- and offering to match up -- possible soul mates.

For those worried that e-dating means hanging out with creepy strangers, friend-based connections offer a layer of reassurance, a sort of Good Housekeeping seal. After all, this is the way most people really meet in non-virtual life -- through friends and family introductions.

Thread.com bottles what we already do in the real world."

What do you think? Feel free to go through your FB friend list and make suggestions!
