Someone just turned me on to the Lady Gaga Telephone video featuring Beyonce. A certain dating site makes an appearance at 4:27. Warning, this is one weird and sexy video.
Great post from Tony Karrer, the initial acting CTO for eHarmony.
Match continues to say that they have 15 million profiles. I wish they would refer to the number of active profiles, which is a much more authentic representation of the size of the database. Or better yet, read the Flash cookie on my hard drive or IP address lookup and say that there are NNN,000 active members in my area. Remember when the number was 20 million a while back? I don’t know offhand how many profiles Meetic and People Media and Singlesnet bring to the table, or even if those are counted in the 15 million.

Even if the casual online dater belongs to one paid and one free dating sites, keeping track of emails, flirts and canned search results takes a lot of time. Don’t forget who’s viewed/bookmarked you, which I consider incredibly important to keep tabs on. Where is the dating management system for Outlook?

Steve Klebe of Vindicia on What will it take to make mobile payments mainstream in the US? Redg Snodgrass, who was at Skout, chimes in ad well. Redg is now Director of Digital Distribution, Alcatel-Lucent. He showed me some of the very cool monetization and tracking services aggregation he’s working on, very interesting stuff and potentially a game-changer in the social and mobile application space.
According to PeopleMedia, there are a lot of single black people out there (6 out of 10 blacks are single).
