In Tuesday's New York Post, there was an interesting article about a social networking site for frequent fliers. Apparently, high-powered business execs are buying into the idea of meeting like-minded fellow travelers while airborne. Can't really blame them: "In the Russian roulette world of airplane travel, the person sitting next to you is, too often, a woman looking to discuss her painful divorce, a screaming baby - or a middle-age man with a tenuous grasp on basic hygiene."

AirTroductions, started by a 33-year-old entrepreneur who owns a New York PR agency, is trying to change all that: the networking site attempts to match frequent travelers with people who might have similar business or personal interests. In fact, the New York Post calls it "Air Friendster, or MySpace with oxygen masks and aisle seating."

Oh, and for those of you with dirty minds, AirTroductions is not some kind of online Mile High Club -- although there's plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that steamy romance can result later, after a grueling four-hour, Coast to Coast flight.
