Online Personals Watch Is 8 Years Old

Posted on June 11, 2012

OPW logo z banneruOPW – June 11 – Eight years ago I started Online Personals Watch. We've now run 6,413 posts and have 7,661 comments on the site, and have spawned a few offshoot blogs (see right bar).

I was working at FriendFinder in 2003, and friends kept referring me GREAT articles covering the internet dating industry. But I wasn't making the time to read them. I looked around for a blog that was summarizing the idating industry news and couldn't find one. So I started OPW.

This is an illumination blog. We review and summarize the news daily and aim to condense three hours of reading to three minutes, for you. We interview the rock stars and innovators in the industry, and serve executives and marketeers with the top news bites and knowledge, so you can make better decisions, serve users better, and make more money.
