The social media giant known as Facebook is going into the online dating service. For the hundreds of millions of Facebook users who identify as single, this may be exciting news. Mark Zuckerberg disclosed this at Facebook's annual developer conference.

He stated that the new service will allow singles on Facebook to connect with each other with the goal of building long-lasting relationships and not "hookups". This will come as a threat to other dating services such as Tinder. Of course, African's too will benefit from this service. The service will offer enough privacy for people interested in meeting future partners so that when you use the Facebook dating service your contacts will not be able to see. Remember that Facebook owns Whatsapp and Instagram, so social networking may soon become social dating. Let's see how it rolls out.

The internet of course has gone crazy with this news. See all the memes and videos here
