In the last two weeks I have had two people mention to me that Think Partnership is having difficulties with it’s relationship properties.

The recent The Right One deal appears to have fallen through, and Relationship Exchange is a shell of its former self, with the sale to a mining concern on permanent hold.

Here we have news that Think is teaming up with BET Interactive on a new dating site with matchmaking capabilities.

Earlier this year I asked What Happened to Vintacom?

Previously, I noted that nothing says “we care deeply about creating long-lasting relationships� than being bought by a mining company involved in coal bed methane in the South Central Colorado region.

I think it’s a good idea for Think to unload it’s relationship properties and focus on it’s marketing companies.

While trolling around eBay I found The Right One is auctioning off memberships. Is that even legal?

I received the following information about the Think  Partnership deal to acquire The Right One/Together Dating.

A group out of Chicago entered into a LOI to purchase The Right One/Together Dating and the “Consumer Division� of ThinkPartnership.

The idea was to form an Online – Offline dating company and take advantages of each others strengths.

During due diligence it become apparent that THINK over valued its Consumer Division.

THINK was dying to rid it self from their “Consumer Divisionâ€? because most of the revenue was coming from the adult sites — I’m sure THINK was running into the “Sin Clauseâ€? with institutional investors.  Even with this…THINK wouldn’t budge on their asking price and the deal blew up.

This was going to be a good size company… a number of LOI’s were ready to be sent out.

So there you have it. If you have anything to add, leave a comment.
