Back in the day I used livejournal and for a couple of years in a row I setup a matchmaking site that paired users up.
You'd login to my site and see a list of all the blogs you followed, then you could nominate five of them as people you were interested in.
If they did the same, you'd both get a notification.
It was a cute system and because it was restricted to selecting only from people you already followed it was nice and local. The code was released at the time, but has now become lost in the winds.
I could almost imagine setting it up again for instagram, facebook, or similar, but .. getting users would be hard I imagine, and I'm sure the companies would try to sue or prohibit it.
