Date.com Releases Free Online Dating Toolbar

by David Evans on October 2, 2007 in Audio Video

Scoop! In a few hours, Date.com will release an interactive toolbar that lets singles find dates in real time wherever they are on the web. The toolbar, which is available for both paying and non-paying members, enables
singles to appear online and available to other Date.com members even when they are browsing
other Internet sites.

- Receive More Emails, More Interests & More Instant Messages
- Instant Alerts – Know the moment you get Interests, E-mails or IMs.
- Always be Online – Appear on top of the Who’s Online Search
- Easy navigation – Date.com built into your browser.
- Date.Info – Get the latest news and love advice!
- Search the Web – Yahoo search built in.

The toolbar is available for free download.

The toolbar is PC only so I haven’t tried it out. (Yes I know I need to get a new Intel Mac one of these days.)

Shortening the amount of time it takes to go from initial contact to first date is a priority for a growing number of dating sites. Most people want to avoid endless games of “email tennis”, constantly returning emails, and a toolbar is one way to provide a quick and easy way for people to connect.

I know from experience that the Facebook toolbar has me checking into FB many times a day, as it alerts me whenever I am friended or poked. I hope you can manage alert settings in the Date.com toolbar to
“turn down the volume” when you’re busy, you know, working.

Interesting that Date built their own presence toolbar, when partner Userplane already offer a similar service and already drives chat at Date.com.
