There is a nice big space over in the sidebar where there are things called advertisements. Not sure if you have heard but people tend to look at them, and if they are interested, they actually click them. If you are trying to get your business recognized by the online dating… well I think you know where this is going. Final nudge, would you rather spend your day sending out emails that never get returned and staring forlornly into Salesforce or get busy responding to companies interested in your offer? Contact me and let’s get your business the exposure it deserves.

Three Steps to Demystifying Online Dating. Read the comments. After listening to the sweet ramblings of unqualified writers and generic dating coaches, I love reading what actual people are saying about online dating. Incredibly insightful stuff (at times.)
Thread says: We’ve been busy at Thread.com building new ways to help you meet friends of friends or make matches. Our latest feature makes it easy to ask your friends to set you up. Tell friends what you’re looking for in a person. Offer a reward for finding you a date, like a free dinner. Or chocolate-covered bacon. When they send you suggestions, comment privately to your friends. If you like what you see, ask for an intro!
Hey-People says: The concept of chatroulette needs to me amended by functions which allow you to filter people by interest and to actually propose friendship and to stay in touch. With www.hey-people.com we want to establish exactly that. A random chat with features that allow you to better define who you meet, where the person is from and what his interests are. Plus features which allow you to keep in touch with folks you meet randomly. www.hey-people.com is funded by the inventor of the mp3 format.
Missedconnections says: (I paraphrase here) We are hoping to undermine Match.com’s business model by providing a service where match.com users can try to get in touch with each other without having to pay subscription fees.
I can’t decide if there is a business case for the idea that makes sense or it’s just blatantly diabolical. See http://match.missedconnections.com for more. I was at IAC headquarters talking to someone who knows about all things Match.com this week. Given their upcoming business development roadmap, something tells me they aren’t going to be too worried about a tiny startup eating into their profits.
Thomas Fide says: I am co-owner of grannydating.co.uk a unique dating niche that has been around for nearly a year now.
Global D8 Ltd says they are the first dating service to have launch a dating app for the South Asian community. Check out www.asiand8online.com.
GoodCrush says: We address the college dating scene, which is thus far unaccounted for on dating sites throughout the web like OKCupid. Since our launch last month, we’ve received over 12,000 user signups at over a dozen schools across the country. Students romantically connect on GoodCrush by anonymously posting and browsing missed connections, as well as entering their crushes using our CrushFinder feature. If there is a match between two crushers, we reveal their identities to one another— otherwise the crushes remain anonymous. We currently have more new features in the works, such as inter-campus video chatting.
