CanDoBetter: Play Online Matchmaker and Say Who Can Do Better

Craig Agranoff — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:49:58 +0000

Let’s be honest for a minute. We all may not have rigged our neighbors bathroom with a shower spy cam, and we may not have binoculars powerful enough to let us see topless alien sunbathers on Mars.

But we’re all voyeurs. And we’re all competitive.

That’s why scripted realty shows like “The Bachelor” rake in big-time cash for the networks. We like to judge attractive people in a setting where we can’t be judged in return. (Hey, sometimes we’re wearing our fat pants and haven’t showered yet). CanDoBetter.com understands our not-so-secret urges, and successfully (and innocently) preys on these insecurities online.

CanDoBetter does just what it says: It lets you judge randomly generated couples from user-submitted pics. Of course, you can also press your luck with ogling mob and see whether you can do better in this mock relationship – or your virtual match deserves a better mate. If voters feel two users are the perfect match, they can fittingly choose this option, too. If you’re as old as me, you might remember an predecessor: HotorNot!

By registering on the site (it’s free), you can view your own stats, it’s just like a virtual baseball card! You can even manage multiple photos and get widgets to post on your blog or website. You can also easily hook up through Facebook.

So whether you simply like passing shallow judgments on others or you think you’re pretty hot stuff, check out CanDoBetter. Because right now, you can’t.

BuddyFetch: Search Engine To Find Dates

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 aÂ date, but you never know it might even find you a date!
