4 Mar: You should go and
read this interview, it gives some interesting insights into the
thoughts behind OKCupid, a site I
have not yet reviewed but obviously should do.13 Feb: Over at cnn.com they have a
nice article and a podcast with some behind the scenes tips.
Worth checking it out.
20 Nov: This is a bit hard to
believe but Match.com is being sued for setting people up with fake
dates. Yahoo Personals is also being sued though for something
different. I know all dating sites are not entirely honest, but
this is a bit over the top. See this
article in Reuters for more.
25 Aug: A nice 10-tips article for
the newbie to online dating by Barton Goldsmith. I particularly
like tip 9 "... When a woman says, "I'll call you,"
she means within a day. When a guy says it, he means within a decade.
... ", read the rest
here.
25 July: Here's something new --
not a dating site itself but a tool to use.
TrueDater posts reviews of
online daters -- the idea is to catch out people who are using false or
misleading profiles. At the moment it only includes profiles from
a few sites -- Jdate, Match, Nerve and Yahoo -- but I suppose it will
grow. Interestingly it isn't only bad reviews but good ones too.
23 May: Eharmony is in the
news again with this article: "Neil Clark Warren, founder
of the online dating site eHarmony.com Inc., does matchmaking by the
numbers."

4 May: HurryDate are
stressing their real life speed dating sessions -- as a girl once you
have signed up for a session you can "one click" invite guys online to
attend the same session.
25 Apr: Online Dating is not for everybody, apparently some
famous (well I've never heard of him before) singer gave up after
eHarmony decided he was unmatchable.

10 Mar: A new entry in the "Adult dating" arena is
WildMatch -- for a new site it is
highly developed already. [Read the
review]
8 Mar: IwantU added a few
features like better support for SMS phones, and the PrivateCall feature
that lets you have phone calls with other people without revealing your own
number. Good safety feature that one.
2 Feb: Clothes make the man, and first impressions count -- so
what you wear on that first date may mean a lot. Make sure you send
the right message with our outfit -- and if the message is "I'm totally NOT
politically correct" then check out this site I came across
unchainedwear. Those who are easily offended need NOT click!
25 Jan: For single parents, who feel neglected by Cupid's arrow,
Valentine's Day is a holiday that often goes unnoticed. This year,
www.date.com, one of the leading
online dating services, has pulled together tips for single parents to make
this Valentine's Day special for their children, and most importantly, for
themselves!

21 Jan: Finally integrating my Dating Forum
into this site properly. Please feel free to post a message and let me
see what you'd like to see more of on this site. So far I'm getting
quite a few complaints about sites which people are not happy with --
it would also be great to have some suggestions for sites that people are
happy with!
18 Jan: SexyAds recently
became the very first major personals site to offer PrivateCall, an
anonymous way for SexyAds members to talk over the phone.
14 Jan: Something a bit different -- dating advice in an e-book.
Try "DateStacker".
Particularly relevant for women as they give women a 30 day money back
guarantee. Not for Guys though! Go figure.
11 Jan: At last someone has thought of a new take on online
dating - at reciprodate you
do not have to fill in length psychological profiles and the like or
extensive questionnaires. [more]

idea behind GetInLove.com is to deal
with the basic problem with internet dating -- nobody knows you are a dog on
the internet! You remember that old cartoon? Anyway the problem is still
here. Read about one solution here.
