Human Computation Meets Dating

By Paul Kedrosky · May 14, 2007 · ·

Interesting idea. The new site iminlikewithyou (IILWY) is sort of like Google Image Labeler crossed with eHarmony. Participants entertain one another via an ad hoc game, and if you’re good at the game then the service hooks you up for a chat with the winner. You had to know human computation would eventually get used for more prurient stuff.

    Heh, this for real? This is one of the silliest ideas I’ve seen lately. We’re definitely in a bubble if stuff like this is getting airtime.

    Yup, it’s for real. Never underestimate the lengths to which geeks will go for a date … :-)
