Yesterday I was sent a very interesting link and it lead me to BuddyFetch. BuddyFetch is a unique search engine that allows users to search for fellow IM, social networking and even online dating users. The itself is very simple to use and has a nice layout, but im still not too sure if it is actually worth using. The user inputs some keywords into the search tool and then a list of people appears below. From the search results you can find out their gender, age, location and which network they are on.

BuddyFetch is search some of the largest social networks out there such as, Myspace, Bebo, Hi5, Meetup, Youtube, Friendster, Facebook, PlentyofFish and more.

The idea is a very simple one, but quite effective. I cant say im the type of person who is desperate enough to spend even 10 min on this tool to try to find a  date, but you never know it might even find you a date!
