I do almost everything Wired magazine tells me to, so when they recommended iminlikewithyou.com, of course I signed up. When I saw the f-word, an "OK" button that said not OK but "whatever" and a customizable ticker that includes CNN and gawker, I was in love.

But like a lot of the love in my life, I'm not sure if I get what's really going on there.

It's not exactly a dating site, but calling it social networking means putting it in the same category as linkedin, which is so wrong. You get to see people's pictures and a little personal blurb, but if myspace is a shot of green apple pucker, linkedin is a V8 and facebook is a bud light, I feel like ininlikewithyou is the mutt offspring of Hot Topic and a bookstore, shaken, with an olive.

What I know is that in a couple of hours of being logged in there (not counting the nights I've stayed logged in at work by accident when I went home), I have had interactions with strangers, and I've actually wanted to strike up a conversation with them. You get people's attention at the site by either asking a clever question or giving a clever answer to someone's clever questio and you are drawn to look at people's pictures and bio by that cleverness. So it's contrived, but contrived in the way that genuine, in-person attention seeking is. And the tone is filthy and adorable.

Iminlikewithyou claims not to be a dating site, but some of the questions are baldly sexual. A lot of them would look perfectly at home on a bathroom wall.

I hope some of you will sign up and friend me, a la our facebook and myspace pages. And for those of you who have tried online dating, I'd be particularly interested to hear whether you think iminlikewithyou's setup would make it easier to assess someone's date-worthiness online.
