DATE 2.0 - consolidated

 The links below only represent a fragment of the (>600 million) dating market. Although I think that 1:1 dating isn't even really Web 2.0 (the matchmaking concepts in the list below come closest to that), the sector is interesting because it's quite mature, a lot of money is going 'round, and some of that is spent on innovations that sometimes spill over to 'real' 2.0 categories.
Of course a lot more flirting & dating is going on in the category COMMUNITIES 2.0.
