Introducing Google Match

Google Match is a new service that Google plans to release later this year. With Google Match, Google takes social networking to new heights with a free online dating service with a twist: Google Match automatically finds people who are compatible with without forcing them to register for the service.

Google Match starts by examining your email and search history to automatically determine if you are single, married, single and looking, married and looking, married but willing to consider something better that comes along, married but interested in hooking up with other couples, or whatever. Google Match also examines your medical records (if your doctor participates in Google Health) to determine your HIV status, as well as your expected life span. All of this goes into assembling your Google Psycho Compatibility Profile (GPCP).

Next, Google Match goes on the prowl, searching out compatible dates, mates, flings, or what have you. Using the reverse auction method pioneered for Google Adwords and Google Adsense, Google Match determines which of your potential matches within your geographical area would pay the most to be able to meet you without those other mates getting a crack at you first. Google Match will also consider photos that you and your potentials have uploaded to Google Picassa, just to make sure that you and your potential don't already know each other.

Finally, Google Match will alert you that your perfect match has been found with a discrete notice at the top of all of your relevant Google search results.

Best of all, like all Google services, Google Match is Free! It's just a nice benefit you get from being a frequent Google user and exposes all of your personal information to us.

You can always opt-out of Google Match, but just think what you would be missing!
