CNBC – Feb 8 - Dating has always been a “social” activity, but could social networks win over the dating crowd? “To some degree the answer is yes,” says Marshal Cohen, chief analyst at the NPD Group. Social networking could solve many of the complaints of traditional dating sites he says. “It can be almost like a full time jon", says Cohen. “People need to weed through the potential matches and that’s a big investment of time.” Facebook could have an advantage over dating sites, because love can be found when you’re not even looking for it. And then there are the companies that are adding the love element. The Facebook app Are you Interested reportedly has ~13M users, which rivals the number of users for Match.com and eHarmony. This month Badoo.com announced that it has passed 100M users, mixing social networking and online dating. FULL ARTICLE @ CNBC

It’s better stick with dating sites if you’re seriously looking for love. You may get lucky on social media sites, but most of the time you only find friends and families on the social sites.
