This one in from Mashable....golly I like them...
"Let’s quit it with all the elitist crap and just admit that the success of a social network among young people is in direct proportion to the chances of them actually getting some action.
This wasn’t our insight, of course, but comes from an almost infamous 2005 article about Groupware. In some senses, it’s meant metaphorically: make sure your users are happy and they’ll keep coming back. But it’s also meant literally - Facebook, MySpace and Bebo are as much about ogling hot people as they are about “identity formation”, self expression, narcissism and other psychological needs."
The feature then goes on to allow users to vote for the service most likely to generate...ahem...dates.
Myspace is edging out Facebook in the voting - they are drawing 5x votes of the closest competitior. Shockingly, LinkedIn makes the list...which should tell you how desperate folks are out there...
