Stupid Investment of the Week: Carmen on Luvoo. She cooed a sultry hello. She started to talk about dating. I quickly pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. And then, the former “Baywatch” babe said two words that really turned me on: “publicly traded.” Too bad the stock is down 30% to $.257 cents.

Adding your Site or Service to the Directory. It’s time to bug people to add their dating and social networking-related companies to the Tools and Services section of the blog. A few new dating applications companies have contacted me and I want to make sure to list as many companies as possible. If you know how to use Delicious, go to your home page and tag it as for:relaxedguy, which looks like this: http://del.icio.us/for/relaxedguy.

Otherwise, send email to relaxedguy at gmail dot com and I’ll post to the directory. I’m not listing standalone dating sites. There are plenty of places to list your site. This is for companies that provide service for dating and social networking sites.

Nice comment on Tech Crunch from Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield about the visitor/ranking differences at Alexa, Nielsen/NetRatings and Hitwise when it comes to Flickr, Photobucket and other photo sharing services. Applicable to the dating and social networking world as well.
