Annotating dating profiles is an interesting concept. And I like the idea of a 3rd party tool to perform that, because the dating sites themselves would probably want to shy away from that so they don’t piss off some of their users. Because, at least according to my female friends who date online, probably around 10% of male online daters are total weirdos. I wonder if that’s true or if they just overreact… and whatever percentage it is, I hope I’m not part of it.

Thanks for the feedback! If you just click the tack icon it will minimize the toolbar for when you are not using it. Many of our users found the tack to be more convenient at the top, but we should definitely have the option to place it at the bottom for users who prefer it there.

Thanks and fixed. Please add the option to remove the red pin icon next to the address bar. Totally annoying and unnecessary. Add a link to the bottom status bar like everyone else. I’m never going to have your toolbar displayed either, takes up too much room.

Dave,

I’m glad you are enjoying WebNotes! The link you posted to view the annotations doesn’t work though. Try navigating to your annotated page, clicking share, then “share via link”. This URL can then be viewed by anyone regardless of whether they have WebNotes installed.

Cheers,

Alex

LinkedIn also uses a referral system. So if testimonials are so effective and something the consumer uses and wants in the social and business networking spaces, then why do you suppose the dating industry is hesistant to adopt them?

Both, as well as pre-emptive prospects as well. See Faceboook and Engage to see what I mean. Testimonials are incredibly powerful. but good luck getting anyone to provide them in the dating space.

If only we were all programmed robots, this would all be so much easier.

Dave and list,

Should reputation management systems only incorporate feedback from a person’s previous “romantic prospects,” or do you think it would helpful for profiles to also include testimonials and “reference letters” that could be uploaded from family and plutonic friends?

Thanks,
