And here I thought eHarmony was going to launch in Europe first. Turns out Canada is the latest in Eharmony’s expansion plans. Check out eharmony.ca. I bet Markus is quaking in his boots.

Eharmony recently launched eHarmonyLabs, a commercial research organization dedicated to the study of human relationships. eHarmony said the new lab will research relationships and be used to bring new products and aservices to market. According to the firm, eHarmonyLabs has formed a scientific advisory board made up of scientists from UCLA, the University of Chicago, the University of Connecticut, and Rockefeller University. The research team will include five Ph.D’s, led by Galen Buckwalter, the firm’s VP of Research and Development.

Match started some sort of research group in Europe a while back. I haven’t heard anything about it since the announcement. I hope they task the lab with growing the success rate to over 1%. I hope they don’t create more dimensions of compatibility, that test is almost the size of War an Peace.
