Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Video dating is not all that new, in fact, it was a big fad back in the 80s and you can check out some great youtube videos of this.
However, those days are now long and gone (thank goodness) and we now live in the age of the internet and have many new and interesting applications that might become a craze in the online dating scene.
Although voice chat has been around with us for a while, it hasn’t really taken a good hold in the online dating world. This is probably due to the lack of easy-to-use tools that facilitates the voice chat over the internet with other users. However, for IM this is becoming more of a common place but the dating websites have yet to take full advantage of this.
The only complete one-to-one video dating service was being offered by a dating company called SpeedDating which they launched back in 2008. However, it would seem that this initial craze has become lukewarm and there are some sites which allow you to upload videos but not have a one to one conversation eg. Woome.com.
It’s early days yet, but the potentially biggest breakthrough is likely to happen through the hand-held market, since more people are accustomed to talking and now browsing on the internet, it will be a matter of time when they will be talking face to face. This is already happening to some level with iPhone’s FaceTime application.
