theComplete.me Social Dating Network Launches Beta Site, Introduces "Interest Matching" Singles Connect Via Interests And Friends, Curated From Their Social Networks

2012-03-13T16:09:44-04:00

Social dating network, theComplete.me, launches Beta site, offering singles hyperpersonalization and interest matching. Members can easily meet each other through the real interests, experiences and friends from eight social networks, and via images and videos pulled in from around the Web.

San Francisco, CA, Mar 13th, 2012 -- /PR Web/ --theComplete.me™, the Internet’s first social dating network, announced today the launch of a free Beta service. Singles can now tap eight social sites to create a visually-representative dating profile from the updates, photos, interests and friends they are already sharing. The site’s users also have Pinterest-like control over the personalization of their profile with content from around the Web. Rather than relying on matching algorithms to analyze a check list of a user’s traits, singles on theComplete.me connect, and begin conversations, based on shared interests and mutual friends.

theComplete.me is the first dating site to leverage Facebook’s social and interest graph, and also allow users to pull in interests from around the Web, to create a visually richer, more open and reciprocal online dating experience. The site’s users customize a FraME™—a collage for each of their interests, affiliations, aspirations and people connections—to demonstrate who they really are. While theComplete.me has an environment of openness and sharing, users are offered complete control over what, and with whom, they share. Each member earns a .Me Score™, based on the degree to which they have shared, and the likeliness of authenticity. This unique combination of interest matching and identity auditing helps singles make more meaningful and informed connections.

As the Internet moves towards hyper-personalization, theComplete.me is poised to let singles tell the complete story of who they are, with all the aspirational subtleties and interest nuances that can’t be captured on a check list. While anyone can check a box on a dating site that says they have a great sense of humor, it doesn’t mean that other singles will find them funny. With interest matching, singles can connect with someone who enjoys “nice” funny, like Ellen DeGeneres,” ice “funny, like Ann Coulter, “class-clown” funny, like Jim Belushi, or “edgy” funny, like Chris Rock.

How It Works:

In less than five minutes, users create a visual rich dating profile from the social media they already use, including: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, Photobucket, Flickr, Foursquare, Goodreads and Instagram.
FraMEs give singles Pinterest-like control over profile personalization.
Profiles automatically evolve as users add interests and comments, or update social media feeds.
Like a Friend™ feature allows singles to express interest and invite members' friends to join.
Members can see the other dating sites being used by people in the Me Network™, including Match.com, Zoosk, eHarmony and Badoo, and can communicate with them for free on theComplete.me.
Communication is 100% free.

Interest In Online Dating To Grow By 60% In The New Year - Mamboo.com

2012-01-03T17:55:00-05:00

This Christmas, Mamboo.com noticed an average 40% increase in user activity. Could this be Santa's ultimate present: love?

LONDON, January 3, 2012 /PR Newswire/ -- The holidays may be the time for a new relationship, with Mamboo.com seeing an average of 40% more page views per user between Christmas and New Year.

"It's been a trend that we've been noticing for many years now," says Mamboo's COO, Gloria Diez. "Could it be more than just the effect of the mistletoe?"

The company is reporting some interesting statistics, including members sending 30% more online gifts, as well as a 38% increase in spending on the site. The number of messages sent and received by members also doubled.

The company made contact with two psychologists to find out why.

Barbara Lavi, a Family Therapy Specialist, was happy to share her theories:

"At this time of year everyone is flooded with images of family and companionship. Singles may see this as a complete contrast to who they are, so set out to change things for the better," she advises.

Isabel Moya, Youth Psychology Therapist, had this to say:

"During the Holidays, singles are put in a tough position - having to cope with and navigate social situations in which they are often the only person without a partner. This can be very uncomfortable, prompting a desire for change," she explains.

Mamboo also forecasts a rather romantic January, with 60% more traffic to their site expected during the first two weeks of the year.

Mamboo can be found online at: http://www.mamboo.com

Terry Sears, Executive Director of Tuesday's Children, said, "Spark Networks' generosity will have a tremendous impact on the programs and services that we deliver for the families and children so terribly impacted by the events of September 11th and in particular for the brave and heroic 9/11 responders.

IAC, Operator Of Match.com And Other Popular Dating Sites, Unveils New Online Dating Site For Singles 50-Plus

2011-05-10T06:53:00-04:00

With More Than a Million Active Members at Launch, OurTime.com Delivers a Targeted Online Dating Experience and a Great Opportunity to Find Companionship.

LOS ANGELES, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), the operator of Match.com and other popular online dating brands, announced the launch of OurTime.com (www.OurTime.com), a site specially customized to meet the needs of singles over the age of 50. By combining the membership of some of IAC's existing dating sites that cater specifically to singles 50 and up, OurTime.com launched with an initial user base of more than one million members. This makes it the world's largest dating community specifically targeted to the unique needs of singles over 50. With such a robust and steadily growing membership, OurTime.com offers singles over 50 an excellent opportunity to find companionship and fulfillment in this rewarding chapter of their lives.

"With the launch of OurTime.com, life just got a lot more interesting for singles over the age of 50," said Josh Meyers, CEO of People Media, the targeted dating subsidiary of IAC. "OurTime.com offers singles over 50 a unique combination of focus and selection – we've gathered more than 1 million 50-plus singles who share their desire to date within their age group. This natural affinity makes it easier to find like-minded matches and strengthens the relationships formed through the site."

Over the last two years, IAC's dating sites have experienced significant gains in membership among singles over 50. The rapid growth, which included a 400% increase in this member segment on People Media sites alone, prompted a newly energized approach to the category.

"This growing segment has clearly embraced online dating," said Greg Blatt, CEO of IAC. "Our approach with any demographic category is to provide online dating choices, and this is no exception. To complement the broad-based experience enjoyed by so many over 50 on Match.com, we're offering the more targeted experience of OurTime.com. We expect substantial growth to continue with this group across both properties."

Internal research has illuminated interesting differences between singles over 50 and younger demographics, including:

Those surveyed are more interested in companionship and long-term relationships than in marriage, in contrast to younger groups;
At the same time, women in this group are more traditional in their thinking when it comes to online dating – they prefer to be asked out rather than make the first move; and
Singles over 50 tend to be considerably happier than their younger counterparts and, on the whole, experience less stress about their personal lives."Much of the pressure of parental expectations, child-rearing and career has lessened or is gone by this stage in people's lives," said Dr. Gail Saltz, OurTime.com's Relationship Expert and a go-to relationship contributor for NBC's "The Today Show." "This allows singles to approach dating from a more relaxed perspective. Their main concern now is simply to live life to the fullest."

Before their reintegration as OurTime.com, IAC's sites dedicated to 50-plus singles added almost 10,000 new users a day and reported a daily average of more than 300,000 communications exchanged by members. Thousands credit the sites with introducing them to that special someone with whom they can enjoy this tremendously fulfilling chapter of their lives.

OurTime.com is currently live and can be accessed at www.OurTime.com.
