OPW – July 1 - Courtland Brooks has prepared a White Paper on mobile dating to better understand all of the factors in developing a mobile dating service. What should dating sites consider before implementing a mobile dating feature? Developing the solution “in-house” can be costly and marketing timing sensitive. Not to mention complexity; there is a vast assortment of networks, cell phones models and operating platforms to choose from. Other considerations include security, member experience and the proper business model. If outsourcing is an option then mobile dating solution providers such as messmo, Trilibis and Jumbuck are worth reviewing. A more extensive review of Mobile Dating can be found at Courtland Brooks blog.
“Mobile dating is defined as any cell phone supported service used for the purposes of finding and communicating with a potential date.”
“According to Juniper Research,…. By 2013, it is expected to double to USD$1.4 billion.”
USD$1.4 billion?

I say:
I think mobile applications may be good for markets such as Korea and Japan, but I believe a ceiling has already been reached in North America and Europe.
Perhaps by 2012-2013, the mobile concept will be diluted, and will disappear for online dating, with the majority of subscribers using netbooks/iPads/TabletsPc with mobile broadband modems, or WiFi, rather than smartphones.
See for example: mobile subscriptions acounted for just 2 percent of total revenue of online dating player Meetic in 2009, down from 3 percent in 2008.

It certainly makes sense that mobile dating is the next big thing for dating as many services migrate to the smaller screen of a smart phone. For casual dating, the opportunities are certainly there.
