A Social Networking Company with a Believable Business Model

The idea behind FriendsForFamilies is obvious in retrospect: use the technology of online dating to help families find other families with similar interests. Just moved to a new city? Build a profile, then let their software find people who also like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, competitive swimming, and homemade pizza. It’s just amazing no one thought of it before…
Greg,
Are you kidding? I seriously can’t tell. Because this strikes me as a pretty bad idea. Not that I don’t applaud the noble aims of the service, I just can’t honestly imagine families using it. Have you seen any indication of adoption?
