Cupid's algorithms
April 1, 2006
Posted by Michael Krantz, Product Manager, Google Romance
Ever been on a date and wondered "What on Earth am I
doing
with this person?" Or perhaps you wished there was a way that you could instantly find your perfect match, and then go on a date during which everything just went right?
Wish no more:
Google Romance
, a beta product currently incubating in Google Labs, uses cutting-edge personal search algorithms to help you find your soulmate, then sponsors your first Contextual Date with said soulmate-to-be in exchange for showing you highly relevant advertising that just might help Cupid's arrow find its mark. Does it really work? Ask our internal beta testers -- if you can find them, that is. Not a single one has shown up for work in days.
So why not give
it
a try yourself? You've got true love to gain, and only your faith in psychographic and contextual advertising software to lose.
