Matchmaking online

Hilariously, through an email blast from a friendster like site, I heard about Linx Dating company. Now, the reason I think this is funny is because of the following excerpts from the blurb on their site: "a high caliber mix of sophisticated eligibles. Everyone has excelling background, great job, excelling education... physically fit and attractive." "completely offline and pursuing zero advertising, ... it can be considered the 'hidden' source for exclusive Bay Area dating". They call themselves a "private society" - I can only hope that this is a secret society like the Skulls! Maybe Joshua Jackson will show up! (Although he appears to be dating Diana Krueger now, sigh.) Here's an article about the company in the SF Chronicle, which is also entertaining - says that this is the place for singles who are "too old to cruise trendy Yelp parties or to ride the N-Judah in hopes of getting picked up on Craigslist's "Missed Connections." Yep, that's right. Riding a bus in hopes of finding yourself listed on Craigslist. Maybe no one does this, but the idea is pretty funny... Plus, they name checked Yelp!
