Flying W Things

Ok. Another website review.

This time we'll be discussing the new social networking site Fo.rtuito.us.

So here's how it works. You sign up and upload a picture. Then you get randomly assigned to another member. You have four days to get to know this person. After four days you Must Decide. Is this random assignee Your Friend? Tell Me! NOW!

Regardless of your decision you will find yourself assigned a new random member. And the four-day clock begins to tick anew.

Now I am admittedly not the most outgoing guy but this sounds like absolute and pure torture. A new stranger every four days? Wanting to evaluate me as a potential friend? Welcome to hell.

Now that we've eliminated intelligent semi-introverts from the potential user list, here's a question for you. Just who is this site for? I mean, if you want to meet strangers there are undoubtedly many, many opportunities to do so in the flesh - bars, churches, sporting events, parks, the produce section of your grocery store, just to name a few. What's the point of doing it online?

I say good luck to you, Fo.rtuito.us. As far as I'm concerned, you're on your own.
