Agreed. In fact, I think getting 6 pages of profile to look through to try to find somebody you may want to contact on a dating site is counterproductive and probably frustrates people a lot.
At first I thought that maybe your idea subverts the role of the intermediate players in our lives. (The people who go "Hey, I know this person you should me, let me introduce you.") But what if you actually allowed that to happen in the social 'net? Do you think it would be handy if you could anonymously suggest to friend A and Friend B that they connect if they don't know each other?
- dsplittgerber 17y agoGood questions. What value do intermediate players provide? Is it in them playing cupid or is it in them being a trustee? Why do people who are introduced to each other go along and talk to the other one - is it because they are interested in a stranger or because they trust the intermediate player? I tend to think it's the latter which is why anonymous suggestions may not work. What do you think?
- TrevorJ 17y agoHmm, good question. If you knew it was through a mutual friend it could still work, but maybe it should not be anonymous.
