    Online dating has really taken dating to another level!Unfortunately though, it’s robbing people of a chance to use their natural communication skills in person.Many are so hooked to their computers, they don’t know how to talk anymore.

    Yes, they may have gotten 20M users in the database but what’s the breakdown? How many are abandoned, versus non-subscriber versus subscriber?
    $1M for 3 months seems a little low to me for the user base.
