There is some buzz this week about Userplane shutting down, although until I hear from Janet or someone else on the team I’m going to hold off on linkbait blog titles like at OPW. If in fact Userplane is shutting down, dating sites are going to have to find an alternative chat client, or simply remove the feature. I’m talking with some of the companies who are angling to fill in the void Userplane would leave in the chat client market. Felix Fidelsberger, founder of Toksta, is offering a 15-day free trial to current Userplane customers.
I have always liked Userplane, from the team to the technology. They’ve been in the online dating business for many years and were a longtime sponsor of this blog.
Update: Nobody has gotten back to me and the phone system at Userplane is acting wonky.
