Had back-to-back calls with Match.com yesterday. First up, an introduction to Craig Wax, senior vice president and general manager for Match.com North American.
Next, a conversation with the lead developer for Match’s Little Black Book Facebook application. Turns out my ancient Powerbook (only 3 years old!) is not playing nicely with Facebook. I see Saturday morning being Project Operating System Re-installation, sigh.
Asof right now there are 1346 Facebook dating applications. The number of dating applications is really much lower, due to the fact that the majority of the applications are more of the friend variety.
I heard from the investors of Zoosk, a popular dating app on Facebook. I’ll be speaking with the Zoosk founders today or tomorrow. 203k daily active users, not bad. Looks like the app is down right now, growing pains I bet.
