The CollaboraDate blog says it appears Google may be starting it’s push into the online dating market.
What I am concluding here is that Google may be playing a smart strategy. Start by stocking the service with personal members from other sites, and let word of the service spread. Down the road start replacing those results with those of Google only services (think gmail, and orkut). On the other hand Google could end up evening the playing field, and in turn let the user experience access to more sites, and then the most innovative sites will win out. It all remains to be seen…
No worries sports fans, that dog won’t hunt. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I am nowhere near convinced that Google will be able to put together an online dating strategy that works.
