Metadating Game

Rik Abel, 1+1=3, Apr 01, 2005

The idea here is that the data about one's life posted on blogs, sites like Flickr and Yahoo 360, and in personal XML like FOAFD can be used via an information aggregator to support a distributed match service. The author still thinks of this as being supported via a dating website, but the real advance will be when this sort of product integrates with the desktop (I am still uncertain whether this desktop will be a comprehensive information service like Yahoo or a set of locally installed applications).
