Dr. Dato’s Brief:

The is another press release of a dating site that caters to an ethnic group and is similar to the recent trend in the growth of dating sites that are popping up with speciality themes.

We haven’t done a review of this website, but you can guess that we will be taking a close look at this one along with other similar websites that cater to the black population. I would be curious to see how this family of sites including the ones geared to religion does well in their niche market.

From first glance and the information available on the post, it doesn’t appear to offer anything exceptional from other dating sites except that it claims to have one of the largest online dating tips section. They appear to cater to a range of relationship types including friendship and marriage. In their words, “you can enjoy our great services totally free:”

* Dating Profiles
* Search Profiles by age and location
* Webcam Chat
* Photo Galleries
* Flirt Messages
* Discussion Forums
* Video and Audio Upload
* Privacy given to Members
* Email Contact and Mailbox

Look and Feel

Look and feel of the website is visually appealing and attractive. The combination of black and red color gives it a bold and beautiful look. At the front there is an array of cards with some fun content on either side of the cards.

The top placed icons talks about the site and how the site works including faq’s, cards, shop, sign up and login for the members.

At the bottom you will see the printing partners of this website and you can follow the site on twitter as well as facebook.

Registration Process

You can register free to this site which is pretty much a common thing in most dating sites including the paid subscription based sites.

The registration process seems to be simple as there are 4 steps to the registration and in the first step you have to give your username and password.

The second step is where the registration requests your first and last name, email, birth date and how did you hear about the site which is a good way of tracking users and for marketing purposes.
The third step is the optional information where you can upload your picture and fill in some conversation starters with the final fourth step is where you buy a card according to your needs.

This completes the registration process.

Login & Customizing Profiles

You will automatically be logged in following the registration process.

Once you login you will see the user icons such as the inbox, outbox, and address book.

Customizing on this site needs to be improved further as you can only edit your profile and activate your cards.

Photo Profile Section

Photo uploading can only be done from your computer and I see no strict rules adhering to the types of photo I am allowed to upload. You are permitted to upload your profile picture only but there is no option to save or share my photos.

Browse & Search Feature

As I mentioned earlier that this is a new concept so the website does not have any features for browsing and searching. As you purchase the flip cards you will get a member id and code which is unique to you. You have to flip those cards meaning you need to give it to your admirer and if they choose to contact you the card will will have the information to login to the website and allow them to show their interest in you or not.

Messaging

The messaging feature is just like any other sites with the inbox and outbox and you can only send messages if you have member id and card id of the person whom you are sending a message to.

Member Base

As you can’t search for the members so I cannot comment about the member base.
It is difficult for find out how many members are on this website or using the service offered by the site.

Longevity

Longevity of this website can only be determined by the active users of the site which isn’t really intended as an online dating service but more dependent on the offline activity of members issuing the cards.

Ranking Statistics
