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

Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato - The “Social Dating” Revolution has Arrived: Badoo.com Surpasses 100m Users, by Mixing Social Networking and Online Dating

Article Subject:
The “Social Dating” Revolution has Arrived: Badoo.com Surpasses 100m Users, by Mixing Social Networking and Online Dating
Article Link:
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The article talks about a rising star badoo.com which claims to have found a way of connecting online dating with the social media (ie. facebook). You will find a review of this site in our Free Dating Site Reviews.
The claims made seem like astonishing figures ie. surpassing 100 million users which I would think is a bit of an exaggeration. However, when checking its ranking in terms of traffic it stands at a creditable position of 565 sandwiched comfortably between dishnetwork.com and job.com.
Also, you need to be aware how websites can turn the figures to their advantage. For example 100 million users does not mean 100 million users signed up and this can be confirmed by the large counter on their site which clearly says ‘people are already here!’
badoo.com - many users but probably fewer members!

Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato - Taking Online Dating to the Next Level
Monday, January 31st, 2011
Article Subject: Taking Online Dating to the Next Level
Article Link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/01/12/prweb4955394.DTL
Website: http://www.needarealdate.com/
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This article talks about a new site ‘Needarealdate.com’and claims that although there are many dating sites out there, the new site has much better interactive features. My take is what good is a highly interactive website when its new and has limited number of member base? How are you going to get those dates, having interactive sites will not get you those dates, unless they have a dating guru that magically formulates your ideal partner.
I checked out the site and couldn’t see anything that would entice me to sign-up, but you may give it a try.
Needarealdate.com - Sure if there were enough members!

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011
India’s history dates back over 5000 years, and is rich in culture and tradition. One of the strongest traditions relates to marriage and how couples are brought together. Marriage is arranged by parents in about 80% of the cases. Parents first look for a suitable match. After they choose one, the boy and girl are made to see each other.
