It&#8217;s even worse when you&#8217;re dealing with dating sites. (As a former member of OKCupid, I speak from personal experience.) But if the thought of filling out a dating profile fills you with dread, or just leaves your mind blank, a new site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.profilewiz.com\">ProfileWiz<\/a> can take cre of that part for you.<\/p>\n<p>The site was created by <a href=\"http:\/\/digital.venturebeat.com\/2008\/03\/17\/brand-based-social-networking-will-it-work-for-imagini\/\">Imagini, a company that&#8217;s developed technology called VisualDNA<\/a> to extrapolate emotions from images. To use ProfileWiz, you answer a series of 22 questions, which are all image-based: What would you do on your ideal Saturday night? What image best captures your idea of love? And so on. At the end of the process, Imagini uses its technology to generate a 500-word profile that you can post on any dating site, based on the preferences expressed in the questionaire. If some of it doesn&#8217;t seem quite right, you can edit the profile to your liking, but at least it gives you a place to start.<\/p>\n<p>The service costs $4.75, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.profilewiz.com\/18001\">first 1,000 users<\/a> to go here will get a profile for free.<\/p>\n<p>So how good are ProfileWiz&#8217;s profilesWell, here&#8217;s the first paragraph of the profile it came generated for me. It&#8217;s accurate, I guess, but it&#8217;s also heavier on cliches than on specifics:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the bit I sell myself right? Well since I&#8217;m quite shy and quiet, this could be a disaster! So much to see, so little time! I try and cram in as much as I can, especially when I get the opportunity for travel. As for my take on life, I love doing things on the spur of the moment, just grabbing life by the horns!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>London-based Imagini has raised $18.5 million in funding.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/T3H8Djz6eyCyh2qWgJnq_ylWcbA\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/923f8_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/T3H8Djz6eyCyh2qWgJnq_ylWcbA\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_Venturebeat?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_Venturebeat?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_Venturebeat?i=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_Venturebeat?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/ab1ca_Venturebeat?i=0fchkODoxN4:XLoJhhmZ2mw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/57751_0fchkODoxN4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/Venturebeat\/~3\/0fchkODoxN4\/\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Figuring out the right part of your personality to emphasize can be a real pain on social networks.
