There’s a new dating site in town, Aloone.com. Actually it’s not in town, it’s in Switzerland. Why would I mention a Swiss dating site? Because it features a novel visualization technique unlike any other I’ve seen.
The application was developed by a team based in California over a nine month period. French, Japanese and Chinese versions are in the works. Besides the visualization tool, I don’t see much to differentiate Aloone from other dating sites. They do however have have a catchy euro/electronic theme song and some funky Flash animations.
A while back I created a graph of the dating industry. I use a version of it as a consulting tool, live version is stale, definitely needs a lot of work. visualization tools, when done right, are incredibly helpful when it comes to visualizing lot’s of people or companies or things on the screen at once and see the relationship between each item.
