Messaging

Messaging is one of the most important part of any dating site and something I pay more close attention to.

In zoosk you can send winks, email and gifts to your date via messaging. You are able to send one email to your date by using the credit points you got while registering but if want to sent more you must buy a premium membership, very clever.

To send a gift you must be paid member, this service is not free. The site provides IM feature like many other dating sites but you must download the zoosk messenger chat application.

You can also invite new friends to write testimony about you via Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live and Aol.
