Default Facebook: The Next Dating Site?

I've been hearing that more people are beginning to use Facebook as more than just a tool for keeping in touch, a lot--and I mean a lot--of people are using it to find that special someone. It's so significant that traditional dating sites are suffering from it.

What's your take on this?

No, I don't think so. I mean, I guess it might be possible later on down the road but from the way I use Facebook and my friends do it's to keep in touch with friends and family. Not to mention becoming fans of all these random pages. Lol. I don't see Facebook turning into some sort of dating site. I don't think many people join it in hopes of finding a relationship.

I would have to go with No as well.

Facebook is a place where you keep in contact with those you know. Not those that you don't know.
