Go to

Only one more holiday party to go… In the meantime, Lemontonic is getting ready to roll out version 2 of their MSN Messenger-based platform. Lemontonic and Love.com are the only companies leveraging the chat clients we all use every day, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen to Love.com what with the SpringStreet situation. I still haven’t gotten a call back from them about current goings-on. Web-based chat usually leaves me cold, I much perfer a standalone client. Have you tried Yahoo! chat lately, especially the Java client? Ugh. Userplane offers several flavors of A/V chat system used by hundreds of dating sites that I’m hearing good things about. I’ve run their videoblog in the sidebar before and will again as soon as I get a haircut and a better microphone. Caveat- now that I’m dating I’m not chatting up the ladies as much as before so my usage of 25 dating sites has dwindled to the major players and some niche sites (cowboydate.com!)
