Match and several other dating sites are already on Hunch, the new decision-assistance site from Flickr founder Caterina Fake. I checked out the Which online dating site should I try question. I have this exact system running on my laptop as a demo, forgot about it until I saw Hunch. Anything is better than Epinions and all of the other review sites out there.
How much money is Match and OKCupid and PlentyofFish and Date paying Hunch? Thats at least a $20k a month sponsorship deal for each company. If Hunch isn’t charging them they are crazy.
Mate1 has partnered with iovation (advertiser). Glad to see them stepping up to the plate. Now what’s taking the rest of the industry so long?
True pays out $1.5 million for continuing to charge people after they cancel their memberships. That’s great news, there are a lot of other dating sites which should be sued for the same thing.
Some of Mutual of Omaha’s marketing feels like an online dating commercial.
Matchmakers Get Busy in Recession. Hard to believe men are still shelling out $40,000 for a wife.
25 dating sites launched in recent weeks. How many will be around in a year?
There is a dating site for gorillas!
Markus at PlentyOfFish says Myspace has put all dating & dieting campaigns on hold for a few days while they come up with standards for ad creative.
Intel is launching a new chip for servers. The Nehalem chips should enable customers to replace nine servers. I wonder if large dating sites will take advantage of the new hardware.

After extensive research I have discovered that Caterina Fake has the 118th-least-fortunate Anglo-Saxon surname in existence.
Your connection of the Nehalem chip to dating gets a 9.2. Excellent air, and only very slightly wobbly on the dismount.
There are a lot of other dating sites which should be sued for:
* posting fake lovestories.
* claiming they have millions of members.
* offering scientific compatibility matching without any evidence what they claim.
