I really hope someone launches a dating dashboard/aggregator soon. The Venture Beat article misses one of the key features I’m looking for, which is keeping track of who I’ve talked with/dated in the past. With so many dating sites and people using multiple ones, I get deja vu on a fairly regular basis viewing profiles. Did I see her on another site? Did I exchange messages with her elsewhere? I want the aggregator to store the profiles, including photos, of people I’ve interacted with. Then I want it to be able to search through those to see if a new profile matches an old one from elsewhere (including/especially doing photo comparisons). Unfortunately, as is pointed out, I’m not sure dating sites will look too kindly on a third-party site storing ‘their’ profiles.

I agree someone needs to launch a new kind of dating site in pure 3d and they will clean up but i guess it would be expensive to develop a site like that.
