As for dating apps.. I get a ton of them every week from people on my friends list. I never go into them though. I find something like the app “owned” which isn’t necessarily dating but where you could see people outside your friends list more appealing then a dating app which falls into the “fun” side of facebook applications. I don’t know alot of my friends who actively use the dating apps.

As for the “people you know” portion integrated into facebook. I like this.. it allows me to find people I might know without manually searching for them. The only thing I’ve noticed with this though is that sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. I don’t know if it only shows up once a day.. or after you have viewed people and added a few it disappears.

There is so much unknown I think at this point about integrating dating sites and social networking apps. I think it’s still somewhat an unknown territory but I think it’s something we’ll see more of in the future as social networking in general becomes more popular and dating sites use social networking to their advantage.
