This quote is noteworthy:
"Does Andreev have Facebook in his sights? "Badoo is more of a social network than Facebook, as on Facebook you interact with your existing friends in an absolutely virtual life," he says. "Badoo is more social: it provokes you to go down on the street and meet these people.""
I hope the next phase in social networking is actually centered around meeting new people. I don't know if Badoo will be the winner here (I doubt it), but some company will be able to win big by helping people meet new people.

- nivertech 15y agoMeetup.com - helps you to meet new people with common interests in the physical world. LinkedIn.com - after you met them, to keep track in case you are heavy networker.
- aik 15y agoPersonally I've never met anyone through LinkedIn, just added them after meeting them through some other means. I'm not sure if it is especially geared towards "provoking" people to meet.
