Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This post goes into details of the history of online dating, naming successful companies such as match and eharmony see no end to the growth in the online dating industry. In addition, new technology making use of smartphones and GPS are finding their way into this area although the article doesn’t’ go into much details in this area.
A few issues that usually plague online dating sites include, not being honest with the profile, many scammers on the site, and the overload of too many profiles making it difficult to filter through them. Matchmaking technology has been mentioned and companies claim that their technology works in several levels of personality dimensions in finding your suitable partners. Personally, I don’t believe any matching technology out there can work as described because the human nature and its interaction with each are way too complex to narrow it down to a handful of personality traits.
Despite some of the issues faced by dating companies, the online dating industry is not yet saturated and more and more people are clambering on this bandwagon looking for love. Expect to see more players coming into this market and equally more players falling off the market. This is why its important that you put your energy on sites that will work for you. Look for dating companies that have been around for many years to be in the safe bet.
more and more people are now using online dating to find their loved ones
