Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This is a PR of a new site called Earthrumble.com, what will they think of next?
Usually press releases of dating sites are laced with so much positivity that one has to be careful as to what to believe. This site hasn’t been reviewed by us yet, but you can guess we will be doing so very soon.
To summarize, this site looks to be UK based since subscriptions are given in pound sterlings and costs about 7 pounds per month (sorry couldn’t locate the pound key on my US keyboard) which is relatively cheaper than other dating websites. The site promises to be free from advertising and is geared towards people with different lifestyles and caters to singles with interest in music according to Wayne Peevor who is the CEO of Earthrumble.com
Continue to scan our section in Startup Online Dating Sites in our blog for an upcoming review of this site and other dating sites.

Website: Ignighter.com
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Ignighter.com has had some of a checkered history here in USA since its birth in 2008 by the three Jewish founders Daniel Osit, Adam Sachs and Kevin Owocki. All three wanted to create a ‘group’ type dating site and worked hard at acquiring members but they didn’t see the traction they wanted in the USA but overseas the website particularly in India is doing very well.
The site in India is now ranked 2,779 according Alex traffic report but has a dismally low traffic level in the USA. However, according to the NY times reporting on this article, the co-founders have now shifted their marketing focus to India and have already acquired additional angel funding to the tune of $3 million. They will be setting up offices in India and try to get a footing in the dating culture of India which is very different to that of the West. See our additional review of the dating scene in India.
The remainder of the article talks about some of the opinions gauged from users of Ignighter and the opinion of dating in India.

College Matchmakers In Boston Match Friends On Campus - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Monday, February 21st, 2011
Article Subject: Matchmaking at MIT, BU and Harvard Just Got Easier with nChooseTwo
Article Link: http://bostinnovation.com/2011/02/17/matchmaking-at-mit-bu-and-harvard-just-got-easier-with-nchoosetwo/
Article Rating: 2.8 (out of 5)
Website: nchoosetwo.com
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This is an interesting idea for a dating site that has been started by would-be MIT student entrepreneurs Jason Gao and Tim Hsieh.
The site called nChooseTwo was developed to invite mutual friends to match others romantically and works by going to their website and entering potential matches into the system. The recipient will receive a message saying “A friend just suggested a new match for you! To view this match, visit https://www.nchoosetwo.com.” Once on the site, the potential match can see who his/her match is and have the option to accept or decline the match. There are other features to the site such as ‘crushes’.
The concept is somewhat similar to some of the dating sites that we have reviewed ie. GreenLightCard.com where the person who has the crush hands the recipient a card containing information on how to contact the admirer.
I am not sure how this will pan out, but I think the idea is novel but it will require an inkling of effort from a mutual friend which can be hard especially in the area of love which is fairly personal to most people.

The Future of Dating Online is Offline Group Dating? - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Monday, February 21st, 2011
Article Subject: The Future of Dating Online is Offline Group Dating?s
Article Link: http://www.adi-news.com/the-future-of-dating-online-is-offline-group-dating/28791/
Article Rating: 3.0 (out of 5)
Website: SocialConnect
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The posts appearing in ADI News on the subject of online dating tends to be very short but in this case it is surprisingly longer than a couple of paragraphs and hence my Article Rating of 3.0. However, keep in mind that the Article Rating is also a measure of the quality of the content of the post and just merely its length.
This post has been submitted by Mark Whysall who upon further research (google search) I found to be the chief-editor of adi-news.com.
Ok, down to the original topic of conversation…
Essentially the post talks about the future online dating and in particular group dating as noted in the title. In case you were wandering how this works, its a new theme of online dating and works in that you join or setup groups and other people recommend you into that group. It’s supposed to give a sense of safety to people who want to date and we took a brief look at this type of dating in our blog posting of GroupeeLove.
Smart mobile apps. are mentioned to allow users to connect with other people very rapidly and on the go. I personally feel that this area of market will grow in the next few years. A social type dating website that is becoming prominent is SocialConnect which is a facebook app that allows users to form groups.
Where group dating has become somewhat popular in other countries such as Japan, it is not yet known how this kind of dating will do in the US market.
could group online dating become the next big thing in USA?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The topic covered here is summary of interviews conducted by Karen Burkett with some online dating industry executives on the subject of love and how it relates to the industry. It is a brief account of some questions directed towards industry attendants of the iDate 2011.
To summarize the message, the meetings and conferences held at the dating conferences every year are to bring the online dating ‘business’ together into one place for further exchange of ideas, business, partnerships and more. Some of the people come to attract investors, others to provide services and many to deliver their knowledge of this industry.
I liked the catchy line used to describe this industry ‘there ain’t no romance, without finance’.
