Facebook is already a daters delight. It has facilitated more hookups to date than Match.com.

You can browse your social graph, find out who is single, check out their pics, their profiles, and the minutia of what they ate for breakfast last Tuesday. If you like what you see, you can send them all manner of messages through platform features (would you like to "poke" Jennifer? "Poke"? Really?). And if you wind up in a relationship with this person, you both can mark that on your profiles (and later, so can you mark your Bukowskian divorce).

Facebook Connect, Farmville, and the fact that your Grandmother signed up for an account has not changed the fact that Facebook's roots are in helping college kids hook up for date.

This is my first time ever seeing the term "Bukowskian", but moments after reading this comment, I saw it again here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1149682

I suppose I will have to look this one up.
