Google Romance Joke

As an unpartnered woman looking for her Heart's True Hero, when I saw the link for Google Romance [see story here], I was so excited my heart was beating faster than a speeding bullet. My blood having turned to sparks, I clicked the button to post my profile.

When I saw that it was a prank, I was disappointed and rather miffed. (maybe it would have been funny had I been partnered).

Am I in the minority as far as being miffed that it was a prank? I agree with those people who say Google should have a service like that for real. They would make mucho dinero, and many people would find their desired partners.

Editor's Note: Every year Google does an April Fool's joke and this year they hit upon the online dating industry. I'm sure you weren't the only one wishing it was real (well, except for the "contextual dating" part). Many people are fed up with paying high prices on online dating services and being inundated with annoying banner or pop-up ads. Therefore some, like yourself, may have welcomed the thought of Google (which has never put a banner or pop-up ad on its search engine) entering into the arena. Some people believe that there is truth in humor. After all, Google already owns a social networking service, so why not an online dating service? You may see one from them yet...
