			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love water cooler stories.</p>
<p>I love hearing them. I love reading them. I love writing about them.</p>
<p>This one, though, takes the cake &#8211; but I couldn&#8217;t resist.</p>
<p>Enter <a href="http://moonit.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Moonit</strong></a>.</p>
<p>This is a startup website that claims to measure your compatibility with other people &#8211; professionally, romantically, and for friendship.</p>
<p>It was demo&#8217;d recently at <a href="http://www.techcrunch50.com/" target="_blank"><strong>TechCrunch50</strong></a>, both for entertainment and business purposes.</p>
<p>But, here&#8217;s the rub.</p>
<p>Moonit uses the science of astrology to deliver it&#8217;s compatibility ratings.</p>
<p>The site explains:</p>
<p><em>“Moonit is a social compatibility tool that is rooted in astrological and psychological underpinnings. We use thousands of years of data from the stars to help determine whether two people are compatible from a romantic, platonic and professional perspective. Then we track your relationships to help you learn from them over time so that you never make the same mistake twice, kinda like a virtual relationship therapist. We know you could probably figure out if you’re compatible with someone after a few interactions, but we can save you some of that time so you can spend it doing fun things instead.”</em></p>
<p>Is it hokey?</p>
<p>Sure, but I just had to try it out.</p>
<p>I entered my name, email address, and birthday &#8211; along with my boss&#8217;s name and birthday. One click and the astrological results revealed that yes &#8211; we are indeed compatible.  In fact, we received a 76% compatibility rating and along with this blurb:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Issues will always come up during the course of any long-term partnership, but the two of you have the good sense and peace of mind to find a viable solution to any problem at hand and can see it through while others might resort to finger pointing and name calling.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Yada, yada, yada&#8230; yeah right.</p>
<p>Will Moonit add any value to your small business or office?</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re a new agey kind of person &#8211; probably not.</p>
<p>This is a site that&#8217;s fun to use once and move on.</p>
<p>Although, I have to say it was spot on about most of the people in my life &#8211; enemies included.</p>
