Danah,
Why not just go to the relevant sources (e.g. an electronic archive of The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) and find out what relationship experts have learned from their extensive research efforts?
Then you will have at least a good feel for Friendster's prospects as a date filter...

Frank - i know some of the higher level dating theories, but i haven't gotten into the depth of dating psychology and i know of no research on potential dating partners from the social networks sociologists and only the kinship version from the anthropologists. You are right in that a deep reading of the psych literature would be necessary to fully discuss the theoretical underpinnings of Friendster, but considering that my focus is higher level (and not dating-centric), i just haven't jumped that far in (yet).
Translation: i know enough to get myself into trouble on this topic, but not enough to solve the problem.
friendster is very hot in the philippines. it is a tool that helped connect people, it's core purpose. about serious realtionship, well, that may be possible but it' up to the people. as of now, more and more are having this addiction. ooh, i'm getting to be a friendster junkie.

Matchmaking? Partners? Yes, I see.. on that level I agree it is bung.
But as a "relationship" (as in "connections between people") aggregator, it is perfect.
I can hardly wait to see what happens next. :)
