Not so terrible an idea? Keith Rabois resignation from Square is example enough that you should be absurdly careful when mixing business and pleasure. If you're looking for casual hookups it's best to avoid people you may be connected to professionally.
I thought the site was about dating not hookups. People find their life partners at work all the time. Sexual harassment cases happen because people forget their social boundaries at workplace. LinkedIn is not a workplace, its just a social network of people, same people who also use Facebook and dating sites.
I wouldn't be surprised if LinkedIn shut this service down due to the high probability of adverse publicity. This kind of stuff doesn't really fit in with their branding as a social network for professional networking, job hunting, etc.
i suppose it was inevitable that a service came about for ridiculously uptight 'process excellence-oriented' middle-managers who love the smell of their own farts to try and reduce their shitty lives into a series of hookups with their own kind.
