DSCF2879.JPG It was a small fish, but it fought like a champion. Yesterday I talked to Psismic, they are releasing a bunch of new features this week. I like the idea of capturing your lifestream, but is it enough to get people to share their information at yet another site? Facebook Connect to the rescue, perhaps.

Chatted with Ignighter, which is out at TechStars, going live soon.

BoonexNerd.net features tips tricks and tutorials for Boonex Dolphin. Good resources.

The whole baby boomer dating media epidemic is a bunch of hype from dating sites like Match and eHarmony who are stuck in a rut and can’t grow in the US anymore.

New York Times says It’s the Software, Not You. I feel this way about all dating sites.

Singles, you’re going to love this.The uRadiate blog is great and the Daily Rave is not to be missed.

Apologies for the month-plus long radio silence. AbeVigodaCirca1977 and Dandelion’s stay in Second Life proved a little longer than expected, but they’ve paid off their Linden dollar debts and kicked their flying habits, and once again are out and about trolling dating sites on your behalf.

Or maybe it’s just me, but I feel like they are writing directly to me, as opposed to the watered-down generic stuff we get from most dating sites, if they even contact you at all. uRadiate is for people who are offended by lowest-common-denominator writing for singles. Love it.

I found at least 50 dating sites wanting to be included in my blogroll. What these companies don’t seem to understand is that Google actually penalizes blogs with tons of links.

So many companies try to live and die by Google ads or organic search. Why not focus on the brand and a 1/2 decent dating site? Lot’s of traffic that doesn’t convert or leaves your site with zombie profiles (stale) don’t do anyone any good.
