THE WASHINGTON TIMES COMMUNITIES – Sep 6 – Zoosk taps into social
networking, our most natural form of online interaction and allows
people to communicate when and how they would like. Shayan Zadeh,
co-founder and co-CEO of Zoosk, talks about the future of online dating.
Q: How do you stay competitive?
A: We initially launched Zoosk on
the Facebook platform in 2007. We created a truly “social” online
dating service. In April, we launched Couple Profiles, which gives
couples a dedicated place to celebrate their relationship online.
Q: What is the future of online dating?
A: The industry is
becoming increasingly more social. We really see social networking for
couples as being the next evolution of modern romance.
Q: How do you see this translating to mobile?
A: Today, you need to offer products and services that accommodate all
phone/service providers to ensure that you are not left out. Zoosk
offers mobile services for our Personal’s application, as well as Couple
Profiles.
Q: What's next for Zoosk?
A: We will
continue to expand our services as a romantic social network. We are in
the process of developing new features to enrich our Couple Profiles
offering, which we will announce over the course of the next year.
