Matchmaking sites crash on Valentine’s Day

by David Evans on February 15, 2005 in Dating Sites

From Haaretz.com:

Israel’s biggest matchmaking sites collapsed Monday because of technical glitches possibly exacerbated by the heavy traffic.As of Monday night, neither JDate nor Cupidon were functioning. Nor were any of the other sites operated by Spark Networks. Spark Networks commented that the problem is technical, originating in its servers in the United States.

Another thing crashed on the news: Spark Networks’ share price, which dived from 9 euros to 4 euros. But the company’s reassurances helped, lifting its stock back toward 6.5-7 euros.
