FB Review

When I first heard about Facebook opening up application to 3rd party developers, I instantly thought how this can help me find girls.  Needless to say, it didn’t and I now must relay on russian mail order brides (so far none of them have returned my calls).  But someone at SNAP Interactive had a better idea and came up with ‘Are YOU Interested‘.  The are YOU interested application falls into the Dating catagory because it does bring people together through facebook’s platform.  When you join your profile is added into the ‘interested’ database and is inserted into rotation.  Starting the application will show you user profiles who are also looking for that special someone.  Based on your requirements ‘are YOU interested’ matches you up with potential suiters.   When you find that irresistable profile, you simply flag it and let them know that you are interested by pressing the ‘interested’ button.  If you don’t like the matchup you simply select ‘not interested’ and the app will scroll you to the next profile.  The list of profiles on the application is virtually endless, since it includes everyone who has already added the application (the application has over 3.5 million active users). Overall this application gets boring very quickly but im sure that desperate people such as myself will always find the time to look for dates wherever possible.  Another thing that bothered me about this application is that it is chalk full of advertisments.  Every 10 or so profile views a very annoying ad service pops up and if you click it you will be redirected to some cheepo dating site.  Not to mention the layout of the app is also full of ads.  I suppose SNAP does have to pay the bills but they could of made the ads a bit less intrusive.  Overall a good app and does what it sets out to do, but could do without all those ads.
