Here's a Future Prediction...
Let's see if this comes true at some point.
I've been around on the internet long enough to see many changes. Some good, some bad. Some necessary, others unnecessary.
Just to give you some contrast remember Myspace? Well, it didn't require your REAL NAME to be on it. Facebook does.
Not a huge fan of facebook considering how many times it has crossed the line in regards to it's users privacy and security. All that together makes potential for both good and bad abuses.
Having little trust in fb, I opted-out of using their services to connect with others. I stand on the side of anonymity and opt-out of anything that requires me to submit to disclosing myself. I value my privacy and security and I think that you should too!
Niche dating sites are all the buzz with Tinder-esque, swipe left, swipe right features.
Facebook itself is not a dating site but does contain the most active social monthly users.
Many websites are beginning to adopt the 'Facebook' or 'G+' social login. The benefit of this is having one login across all spectrum of websites that use those login services.
The disadvantage to this is that all your social media 'meta-data' and 'data' (those are two different forms of data) are tracked while centralized to one source. YOU!
The prediction here is that It wouldn't be too far off to say, that soon new dating sites and apps will go beyond the social login feature and require submission of your fingerprint for entry. This will be their #1 selling feature.
Now there could be benefits to this and then again there could be a disadvantages as well.
What are your thoughts about this?
