Disrupting Online Dating - October 5, 2007

So, you want to find the love of your life.

You tried the friend of a friend thing, then you went on those set-ups Mom and Dad arranged, and finally you made the jump to the online world of dating. You thought match.com and eharmony.com would be your best bet, only to find that you have to fill out endless questionnaires, and trying to write quirky and funny emails to potential dates is tiring and relentless.

Enter online video speed dating. Cut the B.S. of trying to swoon someone over the net, and get down to the nitty gritty of talking with someone face to face via an online video feed. You’ve got 3 minutes to make an impression.

Is their voice something you can stand? Are their mannerisms sexy or just plain annoying? Do their jokes suck? AND….Are the pictures they post actually representative of what they look like? These are just a few of the many grueling questions you can find out by simply logging online and talking to someone over the net.

Disruptive? Yes!
