That would be interesting.
It hinges on whether matchmakers can work their magic only on people they actually know (which limits the number of people they could match up), or if they could do it simply by looking at profiles of people they don't know personally.
Even the most outgoing people I know have less than 1,000 friends on Facebook. How many matches could they possibly mine from that group?

This could mean calling people on the phone, going to visit them in person, etc. And in general I bet a really talented matchmaker could get someone to be a lot more candid than they'd otherwise be on a publicly visible profile. It's like a cap-and-trade system; by offering up a pot of gold to the winners you spur massive amounts of innovation. For example, if a matchmaker could increase his success rates by offering up dating tips and personal grooming advice then there would be a system in place promising him a pot of gold for doing it.
