Web 2.0 Dating Sites

TechCrunch has a post about online dating sites using Web 2.0 methods and there are a lot of them.
Online dating is big business, drawing about 4 million U.S. Internet users daily in June 2006 (and 25 million monthly), and they spend a daily average of nearly 17 minutes each on these sites. That adds up to a lot of page views - almost 4.5 billion per month (source: Comscore). And that doesn't take into account the billion-a-day Myspace page views, which many people argue is basically a very large dating site. All told, at least 15% of U.S. Internet users visit an online dating site each month.
Here is a quick list:
  • Engage
  • GreatBoyfriends
  • MatchActivity
  • MatchTag
  • MingleNow
  • PlentyOfFish
  • Poddater
  • Prescription4Love
  • RateorDate
  • VerbDate
  • Wikia Personals

    Plety of Fish may be one of the most interesting of the new sites with over 600,000 listings. It is also free.
