PlentyOfFish is attempting to set a new speed dating world record.
Over 3,000 singles have pre registered to attendthis massive speed dating event in a town of only 150,000 people. The event will be televised live and the news media will be all over the place. Cupid which is the only other dating site with an events network and it tried to set a record last year. They tried to get 3,000 people to attend speed dating events at 150 different venues around north America.
That should be a fun event. Markus, make sure to put some video clips on YouTube.
If you haven’t checked it out, I recommend reading Markus’ blog. Markus is what you get when an engineer learns about SEO, finds an under-served market and proceeds to do everything backwards or plain old wrong.
And then makes a killing doing it.
Markus has gone to town on an industry that doesn’t like change very much and isn’t afraid to make ridiculous statements that always have a kernel of truth to them, and which more importantly, challenges our assumptions about the online dating industry. Don’t sell out just yet Markus, the industry still needs you whether or not it will admit it.

8minuteDating.com was the first (as usual) to run a Guinness World Record speed dating event.

We successfully completed this event and submitted the results to Guinness – with photos and signed sheets from each of the events. Oddly, after NUMEROUS attempts to follow up, the GWR people remain completely unresponsive. Perhaps they’re hung over from drinking too much Guinness?
