Facebook is about to have dating features, providing more long-term networking opportunities than single people

Yesterday (May 1) at the F8 development conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook is about to launch an online dating feature to help Facebook users have more opportunities to connect with people. People who have not made friends on Facebook can date in a separate, secret environment.

There are about 200 million Facebook users who consider themselves single. This is the motivation for Facebook to help users build serious and long-term relationships.
