I like how their approach to experimental ethics is to attempt comic relief

I also find it interesting that everyone got very upset at Facebook for doing the same shit. But OKCupid is either flying under the radar or no one cares.

They're smaller and there's a bit if of an atmosphere of contempt around dating websites so it's going against the current. Also people are a little burned out after Facebook probably.

It's percolating though, maybe it will get bigger soon: http://www.onthemedia.org/story/32-ok-cupid/
