I’d love to hear more about the “Premium” membership “enhancement” at Match. When are they starting it? How much more will it cost?

We may be brand new, at DatingRevolution.com, but we feel that even when we switch to a paid model, we’re better off having one tier of membership at a reasonable price.

Match, Jdate and the rest of them have to do all of this extra work scanning through profiles to make sure someone doesn’t say “You can send me a note – John at the hotplace” (i.e. John@hotmail.com)… One tier of membership means you’re either on the site or you’re not. I think it’s much easier for everyone involved.

First off: Good to know “very sexy Vice President of Business Development” is not in disagreement here nor did you include it in your superfluous and exaggerated denouncements: I will stipulate you agree with that statement.

1. I love your name….so many ways I could spin puns off of it…
2. If you read the TechCrunch article it explains that it is light weight, dating focused, and a huge difference from what the old .com site was.
3. 90% of our traffic is mobile so that is where our innovation will focus…sorry the “mobile thingys” arent of your understanding, and please put me in touch with the 2nd world guys who can build what we’ve built for 15 grand. I can give the engineers a much needed break, those guys are pretty tired.
Judging Skout based on a destination site not on mobile is like judging:
Dolly Pardon on her eyes
Paris Hilton on her blazing intellect
Kermit the Frog on his management
Shaq on his free throws
If you must judge Skout, judge us on Mobile Capabilities. Even our competitors will argue with you that…. Location Technology, the iPhone makes it easier but very difficult, device identification very difficult, hell getting the pictures to fit on all these devices is pretty damn tough. How about you name a company that works on Mobile Web that hasn’t spent atleast 800k on development.

But hey your a Void its tough reason with you, or fill you, or yell at you…sometimes I stare at you… okay enough of the puns its to much fun for me. I really should “aVoid” these interactions

PS: Skout doesn’t do any marketing, or have a PR firm. But one day soon maybe :)

PSS: I know you are accomplished, but realize that to say we have no technology and are all clever marketing may be offensive to the Thousands of companies that have applied to demo and been denied the stage. I know I am cute. However, I doubt my good looks and charm would get us on a prestigious stage, nor would we pass Debbie Landa and crew’s test and get to present at Under the Radar. Must be something under the hood…..

This must mean you just want to get my attention…I know you think I am sexy. Email Me lets hang out. I’m single but busy from all these girls hitting on me on Skout. I’ll try and fit you in.

Those percentages would work with most of the popular paid dating sites. When the new Match.com Premium membership becomes available to the entire market (allows any member to answer a premium members emails), it will change the game a bit.

Having used your site for a few weeks, and being an accomplished developer myself, I can say that your website (while I have not tried your mobile things) is quite simplistic in its’ workings.

Your last point “It is a highly robust, highly scalable, location aware, social media engineered, proprietary-chat-client-integrated, mobile technology” sounds superfluous and exaggerated.

While I am not saying you haven’t created a proprietary system, it is certainly capable of being replicated by second world countries for 15 grand.

Clearly your marketing efforts outweigh a relatively basic application that utilizes the iPhones GPS technology. My hat stays on from what I have seen, waiting to see what the hype is about.
