Improbable iDate 2007 Sessions

by David Evans on January 9, 2007 in Dating Events

Every year I make a list of improbable iDate sessions I would love to attend. Here is this year’s list. Feel free to add you own in the comments. :

  • What software platform should I run my dating site on
  • Is Boonex really that bad or are all the complainers simply not good at technical project management
  • Dialing kazakhstan for technical support
  • Why run a million dollar business on a $500 script when there are so many options
  • Why building your dating site from scratch is usually a terrible idea
  • Why dating site customer service sucks and how to fix it
  • Why your never-been-done dating site idea won’t work (special bonus: includes investor pitchs and business plans for five companies who have already tried your idea and failed.)
  • How to create a best of breed social/dating site for under $100k
  • How to sell my site or database because I want to go back to video editing/accounting/interpretive dance
  • How to successfully sue Match, Yahoo and True for millions and keep your day job
  • Single sign-on across dating sites
  • The Seven-day pass
  • Why we are leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table because we don’t know how to innovate
  • Should we care about background checks or just pay grieving families
  • Rate-a-date sites, should we stay or should we go(independent) now
  • Social Networking is not dating
  • An in-depth analysis of various personality testing and matching systems, their integration issues, costs and expected ROI.
  • Why stale profiles will kill your business model
  • Why crappy profile questions will kill your business model
  • Anonymous calling, how to make your voice sound like George Clooney or Angelina Jolie
  • Why Match and Yahoo and Eharmony will never let niche sites get too big
Be Sociable, Share!

Why we chose not to invite Dave Evans speak or sit on a panel when a lot of people would like to hear his different viewpoints!

How about “How to pick up girls off your own website”. :)

Seriously though, I’m a dating coach, and I think a value-add that isn’t being offered is good dating advice.
