The SRI conference last week wasn't just about blogging. As such, there were several people there from the social networking space which I had the pleasure to meet. Ohad Jehassi, an HBS graduate and founder of friendsand.com, and online social networking and dating site, has combined the best of AOL style chat, locked pictures (amazing what you can learn from the adult industry) and a host of other features to make his dating/social networking service so unique. It's only been out a few months and there are already over 300,000 members.

I asked Ohad about where he thought RSS fit into the scheme of online dating. His site does not offer anything in the way of RSS. From what I gather from most folks, RSS has not yet permeated the online dating space in a big way at all.

The big idea here is that if I were looking for a certain type of person, I'd want an IRSS feed (individualized RSS) that feeds me custom results anytime someone that matchs my profile submits a new profile or updates a profile, or posts a video cast or podcast about themselves on the dating site.

We also talked at length about how the adult industry leads the way in many areas online. Perhaps that's what Hugh meant by Business Porn.
