Sometimes irony is so refreshing.

I have been checking out a site called netrelate.com, which is more 1990-era design yet they tie in the percentage of your profile that is complete to the amount of services you can access.

You can email someone at 10%, check out their photos at 15%, see their “private photos” if they are a buddy and your profile is 100%, and so on.

Frustrating at first, but it’s actually kind of cool how you get sucked in as the features of the site unfold as your profile nears completion.

Having an exploration phase running in parallel with profile creation is nice. There is always something to do, it’s not just fill out a form and be done with it.

Some people hate that of course. They can get by with bare bones profile.

Serious online daters are where the money is at. They will go to great lenghts to find a suitable date. We have barely begun to understand the best way to match/connect people. So much focus on testing, which has taken us away from the way people really connect, via shared interests, similar keywords and smiles.

Why spend effort courting free profiles, which in the end are nowhere near as valuable as paying customers? Just ask all the free sites in 5 years.

Wow – you guys are so cynical. You’d think the web was chock full of affiliate laden pseudo dating sites that do nothing more than attempt to capture traffic and redirect it to whoever pays them the largest commission.

I could see if the site design was real shoddy – but they’ve obviously used some great 1990’s era web design tools in an effort to capture that 1990’s look and feel.

Quite honestly I think one million is a bargain.

The funniest thing is the guy probably believes it’s worth that kind of money even though it probably doesn’t generate enough revenue to pay for my Starbucks fix. How come he didn’t post anything about revenues? And Sam – I think you’d be over paying for the domain.

It’s amazing what happens when people self-evaluate their own valuations.

Is this a joke? Check their Alexa ranking: 1,616,215. This means that no one except the owner visits it. How then can it get 1 million “hits” (whatever that means) per year? Maybe 8 years ago it did.

Why is it that people think that because it is eBay that there is bound to be someone who will buy whatever it is they are selling, no matter how crazy the price? Heck, there are several million millionaires in the US, so surely one of them willl buy it.

I’d bid $1,000 for the domain, but the minimum bid is $1,000,000.

Uh, yeah.
