Shake Well for Love

The Zuck may spend his private time producing hook-up algos for Facebook users, but the socnet that's managed to weld all our social circles together (for better or worse) still lacks plenty in the matchmaking arena.

But who wants to use Facebook for love? How lame are you? ...It's a fine line, certainly, but one that can be exploited.

With that in mind, some friends of friends have produced ShakeCoeur, the iPhone/Android app that lets today's discriminating and time-constrained networker pick and choose would-be mates from friends, and friends of friends, via Facebook Connect.

The idea is deliciously simple: enter your stats (26/female/single). Specify your range (28-35/male/single). Then shake.

Ladies, This is What We Fought For.

Viiiaaaaaaa This is Swordfish.

It's a Sad Day When...

...Viagra of all things makes you long for that one epic amour. See Z Publicidad/Mexico's "Couple" (my full review here):




I'm probably just a sucker for this particular gimmick, though. Levi's "Dangerous Liaisons" also filled me with a cup-runneth-over, totally overblown sentimentality.

And as I watch it, knowing what a tool I'm being, I still can't help but think something really lame like, "This is why I do what I do!" -- with my eyes all filling with tears and whatnot.

(BTW, if you ever tell anyone I told you this, I will kill you.)
