The last time I saw something like this was way back as a LiveJournal meme. It reappeared two months later as "Pay $5 to see all the people who wanted to hook up with you". That's when they made all their money. Sinister.

ouch! good thing these guys actually have a privacy policy. lol

So what if they do? :) You wouldn't even know who to sue if they let your info out.

I really have a hard time imagining someone I actually wanted to "hook up" with ever using a site like this. In fact, I'd be surprised if a single female signed up for this.

I totally disagree - there are lots of females who are lonely and want dates, and would be willing to try something like this. After all, lots of females use dating sites like match.com

i think they're referred to as "girls" or "women" not "females" ;)

I would just add all of my friends to see who picked me.

then you are consenting to a relationship with whoever you match first. if you later say "oh, i didn't really mean to put you on my list!", its kinda like asking someone out and then saying "oh, i didnt really mean to ask you out!"

There are DOZENS of apps exactly like this one already on Facebook. What does Facebook Connect buy them over being a normal app? And what suggests this one will succeed where all the others failed to achieve critical mass?

nope. you're 100% wrong. there are tons of cheesy matching apps on facebook, but none do exactly what this one does.

nearly all of the sites out there that you trust with your username/password are susceptible to this. you just have to trust that all of them will protect your privacy, as they indicate in their policies. facebook and google harvest much more personal info on you than this site, btw.
