#2Not the first Facebook app to do this.
For example (link now deleted, though), http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2334990, which I remember because I posted this comment:
"Oh, I just marked you/everyone to see if you had marked me, I wasn't being serious."

#3Over the years I've had a lot of spam mails from services that claimed to be doing this (but obviously weren't). If I'd gotten a message from this one, I'd probably discard it as spam (or a friend trolling).

Yeah, that's going to be a big problem for them. Too many scam/spam "services" have poisoned the well.

#5It's cute, and I could see where it could really help some people out, but overall I think people just need to take more responsibility for demonstrating their romantic interest. Even if it doesn't work out, I think it's healthy to air these things out.

"Yeah me too". Solution: "I'm serious" button after first match a.k.a two-step matching.

Problem: "I only marked the 'I'm serious' button to see if you were serious, I wasn't really serious."

I largely thought the same thing when reading the description of the app. Learning to communicate openly and honestly is probably a much better approach to this sort of problem than some highschoolesque crush app.
If you're wondering whether Dick or Jane 'like' you, just ask them. If they are going to be awkward about it then they probably weren't the right person anyway.
However all that said, I bet the app will be a smash.

Joysper.com is another similar app. It's gotten quite a bit of traction at the few major Canadian universities it has been rolled out at.

#10Is there any evidence that this problem really exists? In my experience, it's only in the movies.
