Do not get me wrong before I even begin to write this post; I am a huge fan of the social media and what it has provided for today's society. By talking to my friends, or simply browsing through my twitter and facebook pages, you will realise immediately that I am hooked on the stuff. And I am certainly not the only one either. Yet, whilst reading about the up and coming network trends for 2012, I could not help but laugh whilst reading about KLM's new campaign; the "Meet and Seat". Using both Facebook and Linkedin, passengers of KLM will be able to buy a ticket, login to their profiles and take a good hard look at who else they will be joined by on their flight. Not only can you see who you are sat next to, you can view everybody on the flight. The idea behind it is that you can meet people with similar interests before the flight departs, perhaps in the coffee lounge. But I'm sorry, if some stranger emailed me saying we were both flying to New York together and asking if we wanted to grab coffee beforehand, I'd probably run a mile! (What if being a mile high was exactly what he had in mind? Creepy!)
