They are still counting registrations, but it appears that the PlentyOf Fish world record speed dating event was a success. Mark Brooks has more. Congrats to Markus, looks like it was a great event.

Glad to see live events making a comeback. Take off the business hat for a minute and think about 2.000 singles in the same room, speed dating and then dancing. Pretty cool. I’m surprised that the larger sites haven’t tried activities like this. Poor Match Events, we barely knew you.

To Mark Brooks, what is your reasoning behind the comment that POF is the last really completely free dating site? What about the other 2,000 competitors?

Markus wants to surpass Match in 2007. Surpass in what way? Revenue, members or happy couples?

I’m paying particular attention to POF activity in Boston to see just how fast its growing. Unscientific but all I have to go on is new member matches.
