KLM's Meet and Seat

I was a bit shocked when I saw that KLM offer a new service called Meet and Seat....is it frowned upon to enjoy some peace and quiet for even the duration of a flight these days? Perhaps I could add my profile as "miserable old git/antisocial bookworm with body odor" to ensure a quiet journey...

I Love SkyMall, Too!

"Ever wish the person next to you on a 12-hour flight could know your birth date, sexual orientation and favorite quotations even before you boarded the plane? Well, geen probleem (no problem)! KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has introduced “Meet and Seat,” a way to post your Facebook or LinkedIn profiles on its Web site so that others can choose you as a seatmate. Or reject you. “Since the launch, more than 400 people have shared their profile,” says Lisette Ebeling Koning, a spokeswoman for the airline."
