Cool. I think meeting new people (not necessarily for dating) is one area that social networks still haven't perfected. I predict that interest-based social networks will gain popularity as people grow tired of their junk-ridden Facebook feeds and start to look for people they can communicate with about topics they care about, rather than topics that their friends care about.

Agreed. But it's hard because most people are one way communicators. They truly don't listen to the other person they're interacting with; instead they just want to get around to talking about themselves. Actually, that's why Facebook and Twitter work so well - they're self-broadcasting stations.
