PR NEWSWIRE — Feb 15 — On Friday 9th February PlentyofFish launched a section devoted to member marriage testimonials. Within three hours, ninety marriage success stories had been uploaded. Now, five days later there are a total of 295 marriage success stories, complete with photos. PlentyofFish gets 400k user logins a day and Markus continues to operate it from his Vancouver apartment. The average age of U.S. PlentyofFish members is 39. PlentyofFish is #1 dating site in Canada, #6 in the U.S.A. and #6 in the U.K. PlentyofFish attributes its success to being completely free, and using behavioral matchmaking.
Mark Brooks: I'm so glad to see Markus launch this marriage success stories section. It bodes well for the industry as a whole for users to see that internet dating really works, and see the testimonials in internet dating users own words. Markus spoke at Community Next at Stanford University last Saturday. Threadless, Suicide Girls, HotorNot, Fark, Slide, Hi5 and others spoke. I'll list a summary of the conference shortly. (fyi, I provide PlentyofFish with media relations services.)
