I'm sorry to hear this - it's certainly going to be a tough few weeks for all of you and especially the founder. If there's no way to pivot or salvage anything, I think interviewing is smart and any recruiter would understand why you're lo

i wanted to write a similar blog post to this - facebook has done itself and all developers a huge disservice by botching Facebook Connect and frankly the entire permissioning system for accessing the social graph - users are so frightened

I agree that this should be changed. I will look into it!

I considered that but I figured if you already know someone and like them, you should just ask them out in person.

I think OKCupid is a great service and I've heard of several people (like you) who've found success with it. My idea is meant to be another alternative - for people who haven't. Also, there is nothing wrong with being on multiple types of

it is a valid point, thanks

maybe just change it to socialist only?

interesting. i've read studies on how men are much more likely to make a decision on an online profile based mainly upon the photo, whereas women care more about interests and other content. this is definitely something to consider. I do

this is actually pretty tough. facebook has really tightened things up with regards to privacy and it's api - certainly a good thing for users but you'll notice you rarely see apps all over people's walls like a few years back - it is much

the male to female ratio on Circl.es just swung wildly towards the males since launching on HN (it had been primarily female). hacker girls - you have very good odds right now!

fascinating, thanks for this insight. this rings very true. do you have any good ideas for customer acquisition? my only devil's advocate response would be that if a site delivers very well and people start hearing about people who success

regarding "forcing people to reveal all their information immediately really runs against the grain of the whole idea of dating" -- in most cases, the public Facebook profile is hardly "all my information," and sites like OKCupid that do on

Essentially, the only data available given the "basic" settings on Facebook is name and friends. Your name is already out there all over Facebook - friends of friends, random people in groups you're part of, people going to your events - th

I definitely agree that dating is hard, but the web should at least make it easier to connect with people initially. If your future partner lives across the street, doesn't go to bars, has different hours than you (leaves the house at diff

This isn't how it works - it connects with Facebook so it can filter out your Facebook friends - the whole idea is that only new people who you don't know can see that you're single and looking to connect.

if anyone has any feedback - especially with regard to user acquisition or how to make this more viral, i'd really appreciate your ideas.

it's definitely a tough balancing act - if you're too sure, you might miss signals that you need to adjust or pivot - you have to calibrate your own feelings and thought processes so that you are confident enough to push but also realistic

agreed - nice insights - but those spaces where celebrity status isn't a requirement are so small. even in enterprise software where you can succeed with unit sales, it is hard to sell without either prior sales or a reputation. do you hav
