Major upgraded to the blog software today, let me know if anything isn’t working as expected.
Matchmaker is looking to acquire dating sites and domains. Click the link or the ad in the sidebar to get in touch if you’re selling either.
I spoke at length with eFuel this week about their virtual dating technology. I’ll post the conversation when I get the screenshots sorted out.
The Social Graph is an online representation of our relationships. These graphs define our personal, family, or business communities on social networking websites. If we can truly free our data from Facebook and Google, perhaps dating sites will follow suit, and Change Online Dating Forever.
Tell me again why I have multiple profiles on multiple dating sites again? Why don’t I have one primary profile that is used across sites? Spark Networks is in a good position to do this. It would be a natural extension of Facelink., with some sort of OnePass feature so you can try a few sites at once.
This web broswer, built specifically for African Americans, got me thinking. When is someone going to build an online dating web browser?
I get a lot of emails from dating and social apps saying “We thought you should meet so-and-so.” Mate1, SpeedDate and every Facebook dating app I’ve tried fails at this. Often the criteria is nothing more than picking a name out of a digital hat based on proximity. The new Match Five seems to be driving more traffic to the site, and it’s sending me somewhat relevant people, except many matches are based on if I like irrelevant stuff like skinny-dipping and long hair, but it’s also I believe pulling data from my Matchwords which is slick.

Do you have any posts on dating affiliate programs? I’m working on trying to monetize my site, , but i can’t decide which dating site would be best for my visitors, and best for my pocket book.
Any advice would be welcomed! Nice site.
Nationally-known TV dating expert wants to provide video content for your blog
Hi David,
I represent Lisa Daily, the Dating & Relationships Expert on DAYTIME, a nationally-syndicated morning TV show, and the bestselling author of Stop Getting Dumped!, How to Date Like a Grownup (Jan 2009) and Fifteen Minutes of Shame (a novel.)
Lisa is a syndicated dating columnist who has been quoted in thousands of magazines and newspapers, from Cosmopolitan to the New York Times to Men’s Health and seen everywhere from Entertainment Tonight to MTV. I also appeared as a real life “date doctor†in the HITCH movie DVD starring Will Smith.
Lisa thinks you have a great blog, and she is very interested in working with you on a new project.
Last month, we launched DatingExpert.TV — professionally-produced, weekly short video segments (1 – 2 minutes) offering humorous and practical love advice. We’d like to offer this weekly clip to you to run for free on your blog.
You can see this week’s video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd8Xq5T62HA
The video clips would be a fantastic fit for your blog. The benefit to you, of course, (aside from not having to post for one day a week!) is that you gain extra credibility with your readers by having a nationally-known dating expert “on staffâ€, and your visitors stay on your blog longer, because you’re giving them valuable, engaging content. The benefit for Lisa, is that she gain additional exposure. Works out great for everybody.
If you’re interested in running the videos, we’ll send you a new video every Tuesday.
In addition, I’ll be happy to provide you with an animated DatingExpert.TV logo, photo and book cover art, which you are welcome to use (or not) in conjunction with the video.
If you’d like to learn more about Lisa, please visit http://www.lisadaily.com/html/bio.html
We’d love to work with you!
Best wishes,
William
Assistant to Lisa Daily
