DATE 2.0 - Update

The links below only represent a fragment of the dating market. Although I think that dating isn't even really Web 2.0 (1 to 1-sharing can't be very social, isn't it?), 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.
