... and it will let you meet them. Hi everyone! I'd much appreciate your feedback, ideas, questions etc. regarding HumanamuH [1]. HumanamuH is all about efficiently meeting people who you find worthwhile to meet. It works like this: 1) You search for people 2) You talk to them 3) You rate them 4) HumanamuH predicts who else is worth meeting Your predictions are based on people who like and dislike the same people as…

Some suggestions for what kinds of things to write in the "Intentions" area would be helpful. It's pretty vague right now.

Edit to add: I really love this idea, and am looking forward to seeing if it takes off!

One more suggestion: this is the kind of service that actually would really benefit from Facebook integration. You could take likes, photos, etc. to very quickly populate a profile instead of filling it out by hand.

You should provide more information on how the service works and what it does before asking for an e-mail address to sign up.

I haven't yet decided on how much of "how does it work" I want to make public.

Regarding your second question. I thought the landing page and the tour would answer "what it does". Sorry. Obviously, I'd be very curious to know what it didn't tell you. But if you haven't registered, you probably can't answer this question.

I'm not blocking any email domains, so feel free to use some trash mail address, if you want to have a look without sharing your email address.

Glad you like the idea!

I'll think about suggestions for the "intentions" field. However, I don't want to suggest something that will end up in most profiles. Priming is powerful.

I expected someone would bring up Facebook integration. :-)

As someone who doesn't use Facebook and who has some issues with it, I haven't even considered integrating it and I'm not sure how much the profile data would match. I don't intend HumanamuH to become an advertising column, so much for sure.

Can you suggest anything besides photos that would fit the current HumanamuH profile?

FYI - the confirmation email ended up in my spam folder. I'm not sure if that's gmail's default behavior or whether I've encouraged it to be a little too agressive, something to watch out for though.

That's a pity. I cannot remember anyone else telling me that it was spam filtered. But that doesn't have to mean anything.

Do you have any suggestions what I could improve to make these emails pass?

Edit: Not sure if my comment still fits as the parent has been edited. I'll try to update it later on.

It's not intended to be a dating site in particular. But I assume that wherever people meet, some of them will want to date. I like the idea of HumanamuH bringing love to the world, so I'm fine with it.

By providing some fields like orientation and whether someone is looking for a partner, I hope to give people who don't want to date a way to make that clear upfront. And those who want to date a way to make it clear what they are looking for.

If, for example, someone is in a partnership and not interested in dating, it's possible to add this info to his or her user profile. Hopefully this will minimize dating requests for them.

I almost didn't sign up because I couldn't really tell what this was. I went ahead anyway and when I finally saw the landing page I thought, "Oh it's a dating site. No thanks."
