BuddyFetch: For People that Just Can’t Friend Fast Enough

buddyfetch-testimonial.jpg

This is sort of weird. Buddy Fetch brings Ask Jeeves to mind, except you’re not seeking answers to abstract questions; you’re seeking buddies.

The results can be just as amusing, though. We entered “writing, marketing, cats” in the search box. These were our results. But this was probably the top find of the day.

The system scans profiles across social networks, blog sites, Twitter and — oddly enough — AIM and Gchat. Results can be skewed by sex, age and webcam/mic access. A short profile of each user is listed, as well as their screen names across different media. (Invasive much?)

At left is a testimonial from the Buddy Fetch homepage that made us burst out laughing. Not sure why. Sometimes soul patches make us do that.
