Title: From what I know, eHarmony asks you a long list of questions, and then tries to match you up with people they think you would be a good romantic match with.<p>Not sure how well the above works, but I always thought a similar thing that applied to finding people whom you would click as friends would find many applications:<p>Moving to a new city, moving into a new apartment complex, starting a new job, starting college, going on a cruise with a ship full of people you don't know, etc.<p>I guess there are websites that help you expand your network of friends, but as far as I know, no website runs a test that is analogous to the one on eHarmony.<p>My questions are:<p>1) Do you think that a questionnaire + algorithm could ever be developed to find people that you would click with as friends, or are human nature and human interactions too complex and unpredictable?<p>2) Assuming such an algorithm is possible to develop, would it get traction, would people use it, would people pay for it?
