It is not about being lazy or shady. It is about encouraging accurate information from real Facebook accounts based on the information users already have compiled. The site helps you meet new people based on that information and gives you the opportunity to eventually become Facebook friends. You need a Facebook account attached to become Facebook friends.
Right now it is based on common interests and location. In the future it will likely look for other data that similar connections can be made on.
Airtime recently launched and they are following the same model as it turns out due to their close alignment with the Facebook community and the data it provides.
There are plenty of "meet new people" sites out there where you enter whatever you want about yourself. This is a different angle on that which provides functionality leveraging Facebook which Facebook itself is not going to provide.
- tjoff 14y agoWhat are you afraid of, that I will be trying to fool someone that we have the same interests? If that was my goal, I'd just create a new facebook account just for your site. You need a Facebook account attached to become Facebook friends. Allow users to change email or msn over, say, the chat (as they can already). Problem solved. Your arguments for locking yourself into facebook are artificial. Doesn't matter if you plan to incorporate other things as well, it doesn't break your site to go without the information of "likes" or whatever, especially considering that you hardly will ban facebook users that doesn't "like" anything.
