Dating App Pulls In Facebook Data, Funding From Playdom Chairman And Others

Here's something different from the world of online dating. "Wings," a Facebook app from a company called Triangulate, pulls in data from your account and analyzes and uses what it finds to populate your dating profile page. You can also opt to let Wings access data from your other social and media accounts on Netflix, Twitter, Pandora or Foursquare. It was built around the concept that actions speak louder than words.

Senh: Wings has an interesting concept, but there are probably privacy concerns. I'm not sure people would be willing to let this app pull in their private information from various social networking sites to get a date. It's kinda creepy. It's good concept, just not sure, with the recent flare-up from Facebook users regarding privacy settings changes, if people will actually their personal info to be sliced and diced by a third-party app.
