you're claiming that if if it was meant to be a critique it's ineffective yet you found yourself realizing "how much [you were] thinking about this silly little thing"
interesting!
interesting!
The cadence of your post implies to me that you're exposing some sort of hypocrisy on my part.
My entire point was that I had gotten all riled up about something being dumb, but that something had caused me to think in a way atypical of dumb things.

nevermind, i completely misread your comment
It's obviously a statement on the privatization of (all) information on the web. When everyone is deep mining social interactions, why shouldn't we get a piece of the pie, since we're the ones doing all the work? Especially this day where a lot of people are so "career-focused" anything and everything is a chance to coopt or "get a head of the curve" of any perceived or actual value.
I thought about something similar, like a Chatroulette, but in the real world.
I imagine it would work like a restaurant, on entry you would get a list of people to pick from, with their backgrounds, and you could choose to join someone for a meal or wait for someone else to come. And vice versa, you could say which people do you want to join you.

Something like Speed Dating without the implication that you are searching for a significant other, then?
Not at all. Once you make your pick, I would expect the conversation to last quite some time.
Also, I don't think it should be viewed as just for dating, but rather to meet other people with different opinions or backgrounds. Or similar backgrounds. Perhaps it would work the best if it would be advertised as to avoid the dating entirely; to view this as a dating setting is a very narrow view of the human social experience.
I am in my mid-thirties, and I find older people lot more interesting for conversation. They usually have more experience in life, more funny stories, and so on. Which is quite the opposite of the young gals I would date. :-)

Services like this are needed, and useful. Current offerings are weird and weirdly expensive.
(http://rentafriend.com/) is probably the most well known, but has a steep membership fee and costs per friend on top. I guess that's useful.
A site could make some money if they defined services, and allowed people to offer those services for money, and provided some kind of protection and safety advice. They'd skim some money off somewhere.

I can't see it as anything but satire.
It reminds me of the Monty Python conversation menu:

the barking dog is so annoying
The controller is the best part!
I wonder what his display is like? Is it timing the things that take time to happen?

isn't that basically an escort service?
a truer root is probably therapy. escorts are just therapists that can also touch you. plus they <looks around, lowers voice> have sex
Images need to be resized.
was gonna say this - you have like 15 mb of images that are just being scaled anyways, you can resize them to a small fraction of that
Then, I realized how much I was thinking about this silly little thing, and I decided it was worth appreciating anything that made me think a bit more seriously about what I spend my money (and time) on, even on lazy Sunday mornings.
