Here’s another experiment (err… Initiative) from Microsoft, called WindowsLivePlanet.

From the about us section of the site:

WindowsLivePlanet

A Microsoft India initiative, the program has been designed to allow you to find people that match you. All you need to do is complete your profile: I am (demographics), I do (habits), I feel (attitudes) & I like (interests), and Windows Live Planet will open up a whole new world! The match-meter automatically suggests friends, and even lets you find friends exactly the way you want! There is no limit to the number of friends that you can make.
