OkCupid Finally Comes Up With Worst Idea Ever

My takeaway:

Their new service organises a blind date for you at your choice of location. An hour before the date an anonymous IM session is started so you can find the other party. After the date, you 'buy' (not sure what that means in this context) "Kudo points" for the other person based on how successful the date was. People with more points are more likely to get future dates etc.

The article is concerned about the gamification of dating.

Why is a gossip blog being listed on Hacker news? Let alone the front page?
