Nothing lasts long when it is offered to people that are just bypassers in a temporary state but if you do the same in a community of members of highly related interests -interests that have a longer shelf life-, then there is no question in my mind that such sites offer a better proposition than just *dating*.

Social networking sites keep people longer but their user base has less use for them over time. A dating site has high turnover in the short term, but people will return when they are single again. I tend to think that MySpace is a fad that will lose it's popularity over time as it's users grow up, and nigerian scammers take over. The influence that networking sites like MySpace and Friendster will have on dating sites is people will not be willing to pay $25+ to send an e-mail anymore. I think users get real pissed when they have to pay to see who sent them an e-mail. I canceled my American Singles account shortly after they started doing it.
