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.

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?
