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.

I think you right the lines between social net and dating are blurring and we like to call it dating 2.0, basic difference is that all dating sites will be free! Verbdate is allowing the linking of users Youtube videos and soon will allow video greeting as well! Cheers from Vancity!
