		<description>Zoosk and Are You Interested are basically in an echo chamber at this point. They need to break out of the hotornot model to become really useful to members. Sure they make money but the limited functionality is hampering adoption rates. They both ask for your personal information even though most of it is in Facebook. This is copying the social graph, not leveraging it. To make matters worse, they take you to their domains and off FB, which is necessary because they want to own the customer.</description>

		<description>He says it right here:

&quot;In fact, I can dedicate a whole article to how Facebook is dropping the ball by not collecting the very essential information that it needs in order to become the leader in niche marketing....But even that is rather limiting because most Facebook users do not enter their year of birth.&quot;</description>

		<description>Mehr makes a good point related to why I think Facebook is at least currently a poor choice for being the source of the &quot;universal open profile&quot;. They don&#039;t collect information from their users. It&#039;s ironic that he mentions Zoosk&#039;s collection of age/ethnicity information. Most profiles on Zoosk are blank.</description>
