In the last two weeks I have had two people mention to me that Think Partnership is having difficulties with it’s relationship properties.

The recent The Right One deal appears to have fallen through, and Relationship Exchange is a shell of its former self, with the sale to a mining concern on permanent hold.

Here we have news that Think is teaming up with BET Interactive on a new dating site with matchmaking capabilities.

Earlier this year I asked What Happened to Vintacom?

Previously, I noted that nothing says “we care deeply about creating long-lasting relationships� than being bought by a mining company involved in coal bed methane in the South Central Colorado region.

I think it’s a good idea for Think to unload it’s relationship properties and focus on it’s marketing companies.

While trolling around eBay I found The Right One is auctioning off memberships. Is that even legal?
