FACEBOOK HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE
SHOWING A NEW DATING FEATURE AND MATCH.COM, THE DATING WEBSITE
IS BEING CLOBBERED ALREADY.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS IS, HOW SOONER WE
ARE GOING TO SIGN UP?
I AM IN GAUGED SO NOT VERY SOON BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS?
IS A SOMETHING YOU ARE INTERESTED IN QUESTION ARE YOU
SURPRISED, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A STRATEGIC MOVE FOR FACEBOOK?
GO.
I DON'T TRUST FACEBOOK.
IT IS TRYING TO SELL YOU PAID FAKE NEWS ADS AND YOU
WANT IT TO SELL YOU A PARTNER?
I AM DUMBFOUNDED.
IF I COULD CONVINCE YOU, MAYTHA, ZUCKERBERG SAID IN
HIS RELEASE SAID HE WOULD KEEP BUILDING EVEN WHILE WE FOCUS
ON KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE, HE SAYS WE CAN DO BOTH.
JUST THINK ABOUT THE ALGORITHMS THAT HAVE
PRODUCED THE KIND OF FRIENDS ON YOUR FEED THAT YOU ACTUALLY
ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THEIR BABY PICTURES.
I AM SORRY, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE I AM LIKE, I DO NOT
EVEN REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE BUT I AM SEEING THE CELEBRATION
PHOTOS AND YOU ARE PART OF MY 20
PEOPLE THAT I CAN ONLY SEE FROM MY 3000 FRIENDS.
THANKS, FACEBOOK.
I THINK IT IS ALSO IN PART AN EFFORT TO TAKE AWAY BUSINESS
FROM TINDER WHICH LINKS TO FACEBOOK PROFILES OR INSTAGRAM
AND NOW I'M SURE PEOPLE AT FACEBOOK WERE LIKE, WHY DO
WE NEED THEM?
WE CAN JUST DRIVE THE BUSINESS HERE AND THEN WE CAN POPULATE
MORE ADS, SOMEWHERE AD SPACE AND THEN WE CAN DO THE WORK
INSTEAD OF OUTSOURCING THESE PROFILES TO OTHER DATING SITES.
IT IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING WHEN THEY ROLL THIS OUT TO
SEE WHICH DEMOGRAPHIC SIGN UP FOR IT BECAUSE I KNOW
PEOPLE OF MY GENERATION AND YOUNGER ARE REALLY USING
FACEBOOK AS THEIR PRIMARY SOCIAL MEDIA TOOL ANYMORE.
BY FAR IT IS INSTAGRAM, TWITTER.
I KNOW THAT MY MOM AND AUNT'S HAVE A GOOD TIME ON
FACEBOOK AND THAT IS GREAT FOR THEM BUT THEY ARE NOT
REALLY LOOKING TODAY RIGHT NOW.
SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE, BUT I AM WONDERING WHO THEY ARE
REALLY GOING TO BE TARGETING AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT.
IT SEEMS LIKE AN APP LIKE TENDER HAS DONE BETTER THAN JUST,
AND ON FACEBOOK YOU CAN DAY AND SOMETHING THAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT AS WELL, BEFORE WE CAME ON TO TALK ABOUT THE
STORY WAS ISN'T FACEBOOK ALREADY A DATING AT?
I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MET THEIR SIGNIFICANT
OTHERS THROUGH FACEBOOK OR THROUGH INSTAGRAM.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ARE ALREADY TALKING TO EACH
OTHER, WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP TO.
I WAS LAUGHING BECAUSE MY BOYFRIEND WAS LAUGHING BECAUSE
MY DMS ALREADY, PEOPLE SEND WEIRD MESSAGES.
I GAVE HIM THE PASSWORD TO MY LIKE PAGE BECAUSE HE HELPS
MANAGE IT AND SOMEBODY SENT ME A PENIS PICTURE AND IT WAS
UNCOMFORTABLE.
IT WAS ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIM BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID NOT
HAVE TO SEE IT.
HE SAVED ME FROM THAT.
THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW HOW GUYS ARE DIFFERENT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
BECAUSE I'M SURE HE, AS A STRAIGHT GUY BUBBLY HAS
NEVER BEEN SENT TO TAKE BACK BEFORE.
GIRLS, I HAVE BEEN WITH FRIENDS, I CERTAINLY HAVE NOT
RECEIVED THEM AND THAT IS NOT A CHALLENGE, DON'T DO IT BUT
I AM JUST, I'VE BEEN WITH GIRLS BEFORE AND YOU KNOW, MY
FRIEND AARON WHEN SHE GETS SINCE A PHOTO, IT WILL BE BLURRY.
YOU CAN OPT IN A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE YOU SEE WHAT IS AND
YOU CAN GET KIND OF A BIG OUTLINED I KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE UP TO COME I DON'T WANT THAT.
OBVIOUSLY HER BOYFRIEND HAD NO IDEA.
THIS IS PROBABLY A COMPLEMENT.
I SHOULD OPEN IT.
HE DOES IT BECAUSE I GET BUSINESS THERE.
THE OTHER THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING WAS THEY
SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO MATCH YOU WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
YOUR FRIENDS, SO DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE MATCHED WITH THE
PEOPLE WHO AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK?
YOUR LOCAL TRUMP SUPPORTER, IF YOU WERE HILLARY OR BERNIE
BROS, WHO ARE THEY GONNA MATCH YOU WITH?
I KNOW THAT THERE ARE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK NOW,
BUT THAT IS JUST SCARY.
IT IS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT EVEN IN YOUR REALM.
I FEEL IT WITH DATING APPS YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROL OF
THE GEOGRAPHIC SETTING AND WHAT IS IT, ONE OF THEM HAS A 17
PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE.
OKCUPID HAS A LONG ONE.
I WONDER HOW THEY ARE GOING TO ROLL THAT OUT I THINK IT
MIGHT BE MORE EFFECTIVE IF THEY WENT TO A FRIENDS, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU GUYS, I HAVE HAD FACEBOOK FOR SO LONG I HAVE SOME
PEOPLE I DON'T TALK TO.
IF THEY DID SOME DATA MINING
BECAUSE WE KNOW THROUGH THE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA THING
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
TAKE A LOOK AT SARAH.
SHE MIGHT BE OPEN TO IT, IT COULD BE A THING.
THE PEOPLE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU'VE NEVER
CONSIDERED BEFORE, LOOK AT THIS FICTIONAL SARAH IN A WHOLE NEW
WAY.
YOU GUYS BOTH LIKE FOOD TRUCKS.
PICKLES, TATTOOS, LESBIANS, GO.
THAT IS WHAT I THINK THAT I WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING.
SO YOU GUYS WILL NOT BE SIGNING UP?
YEAH, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO SAY, FLINT STILL DOESN'T HAVE
CLEAN WATER.
