I remember it like it was yesterday. I saw it advertised, and being that I am unpartnered, I was excited. A free way to find my Heart's True Hero at last. When I went to sign up and got the message that it was a prank, I was disappointed and more than a bit miffed. They should do something like that for real, although in a different way -- no Contextual dates or psychographic matchmaking, but simply a search feature combined with a singles social network (like MySpace but strictly courtship-oriented) and call it Google Sweethearts (because no one would trust something called Google Romance after the prank they pulled on the tens and thousands of unpartnered souls in the world). A hopeful would-be Juliet or Romeo would type in what she or he wanted in a partner into the search box, and she or he would network with the matches the search provided. I don't think that will happen though. The fact that they had a dating service as only a spoof tells me that the Google wonks and honchos don't give a &$@# about the unpartnered.
