Friendfinder is looking to pay a Flash developer $90,000 a year to improve their sites. Ninety grand for 3 years of Flash experience!
I would forget the Flash, most likely they will overdo it and the site will become unusable, which I see happening more and more on dating sites.
I certainly hope they put some effort into Fastcupid instead. Even if they just put the essay above the old 5 questions from Springstreet and do rollovers for images and make it easier to read someone’s blog. Simple stuff, big payoff.
Friendfinder looked like this in 1996.
SpringStreet looked something like this last year.
Fast Cupid looks like this today. Not too bad but still nowhere near as smooth as SpringStreet. Perhaps I put too much focus on design, I’m a Libra after all, but come on, it’s 2005 and we have Flash, AJAX and other technologies that greatly improve on old web design concepts.
