Linux CEO Brings Open Web Services for Online Dating to Social Networking
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 12/26/2007 - 20:35.
Kevin Carmony, recently-resigned CEO for desktop Linux vendor Linspire, today unveiled his new venture, Dating DNA, LLC (www.datingdna.com). Dating DNA provides free and open Web Services which bring 1-click compatibility scoring and other sophisticated dating features to Social Networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and Craigslist, as well as to Internet devices such as Apple's iPhone and the Chumby web appliance (www.chumby.com).
"Online dating continues to move dramatically away from traditional dating sites such as Match.com and eHarmony," said Carmony. "Each day, more and more people are using Social Networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Craigslist, and others, as a means of meeting new people to date. Utilizing these sites is free and provides a far more natural way of meeting people than traditional dating sites of the past. Dating DNA is the first company to capitalize on this trend, by bringing the convenience of matching tools from traditional dating sites to these new Social Networking avenues, something which has been sorely missing."
Carmony believes that just like everyone's genetic DNA is different, so too is everyone's "dating DNA."
What is dating DNA ? Re-examine built in mind features ?
DNA or genes of a person is inherited from parents and grand parents, etc.
We have been studying the mind in our brain for DNA features for over 14 years now. What we have found is two major complex mind in each person. The mind is able to judge taste and beauty. Taste is good if you body needs certain nutrition. Overeating a certain food, and your mind will tell you that taste is not good anymore.
The other is the judgement of beauty. When you fall in love, it is the appearance, or a movement, or a reaction if you will. The graphics is very complex, and is finetuned as you see more shapes. So, beauty improves as you see more beauty. It is a learning process.
Common human understanding of logic is not how the brain works; so many solutions of matching people together by family standing(old chinese marriage matching method). personality matching, and social circumstance matching, do not work. Brain can be wired wrong by the DNA structure and mind is dysfunctional.
Matching people for dating is futile. Because personal desire is short lived. Matching for marriage is much more complex, because of standards of living has to be matched.
DNA happens to include fate and destiny of a person. So, matching DNA of two persons will need much more understanding of DNA as we discover the implications of double spiral molecular links. Each small atomic change, changes our brain functions, and fate and destiny changes as a result.
Social networks are now strictly personal appearance advertizing. Unless full length pictures are shown, one can not judge beauty that matches your desire. So, matching for marriage by dating service often becomes a waste of time, when your mind reject certain features of the other person. Then you have to match standards of living to appreciate living together(dating).
For my friend Kevin, dating DNA is not a gimmick, but a social study of different people and how their daily routine might be? Not a DNA but a financial circumstance? Who wants to marry a millionaire(reality show)?
It's just a name...
"Dating DNA" is just a catchy name, sort of like Turbo Linux. Does it really have a turbo charged engine inside?
Fact: People ARE using Social Networking sites (and the net in general) to meet people to date.
All Dating DNA tries to do is get you past all those basic introduction questions quickly. For example, I wouldn't date a smoker. I wouldn't date someone who is married. I wouldn't date someone who is living at home with their parents. etc.

How Sad
Proving once again that people (in huge massive numbers) ARE getting dumber by the day, and that the human species is doomed.
Thanks, Kevin Carmony. Social qualification 101 ?
Some pros and cons for dating perhaps?
I found dating easy when the proposal is an invitation to an event, such as dinner at a good restarant? Most people did not know how to ask? But ultimately ended with marriage to my wife. I met her on the tennis court at MIT.
Good Luck, you have a great website.
