This is cool. Quoting from the article, ""People go through the long process of filling out profiles and sending e-mails, maybe for weeks or months, and within two seconds of seeing the other person they realized they had no chemistry,". Well most of the online dating sites acquire as much data on you as possible to create a possible perfect match and I would agree that filling up those multiple page forms are annoying.

Further "After each three-minute session, people click a box to indicate whether they want to interact again. If both say yes, Speeddate.com allows them to correspond through the site." Yep, in dating chemistry counts. I think this idea has a good potential of caching on at start an era of dating 2.0
