Since it doesn't appear to be open to the public yet, I don't know much about it, but there's a startup which seems to be trying to attack the problem from this angle (i.e., removing the "creepiness" factor of connecting with strangers on the basis of, well, lots of evident similarities but no prior real life contact).

- ripperdoc 13y agoIt seems to be focusing on reconnecting with old acquaintances. I think that will be hard - that is all about the network effect, to make sure that the people you know are already on the network - e.g. the case of Facebook. Coming as a new player with that as the main feature seems difficult. Better to go for the angle of finding people based on topics or shared contexts (e.g. similar location).
