Free Dating Sites Review – PlentyofFish.com - Part 7
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011
Website has been ranked fairly high in the Google rankings and holds the 69th spot and beating off most of the other popular dating sites.
Conclusion
Look and feel of the site is not quite eye catching and I give a thumbs down for visual aesthetics. Registration is not at all a complex process and can be finished in under 30 seconds. Customizing a profile which is a feature offered by pof is available to those with activity points which requires an upgrade. Though it requires an upgrade for the advanced features, the site is usable to all users without payment ie. sending and receiving messages with other members of the site.
Email privacy of the site has also been taken care of fairly neatly.
Searching a date has been well thought out and is backed up by the chemistry test which tries to find you a more accurate match.
Messaging comprises of email and quick message but lack feature such as an IM. The website has a very good feature in the section of ‘chemistry’ where you can test and expresses yourself in a more complete way. A good member base with high Google ranking makes this site a worthy visit for all you simpletons out there.
-The End-

Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato - Online dating site Plenty of Fish hacked
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
Article Subject: Online dating site Plenty of Fish hacked
Article Link: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/303016
Website: http://www.plentyoffish.com/
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Oddly enough, I was signing into Plentyoffish.com website only the other day and my password wouldn’t work, so thinking nothing of it, I had a new password sent to me through the ubiquitous ‘Forgot Password’ link.
Unfortunately, this is a problem that most big sites and not just dating sites have to contend with. You can put all the security measures in place but hackers will eventually find a backdoor to your site and this puts not just the company but the private data of users in jeopardy.
The only cure is to do as much preventive work as possible and monitor the activities of the site and in particular the activities related to maintaining the site which usually is done through a backend online system.
Plentyoffish.com - security is an issue from hackers
