OnlinePersonalsWatch Celebrates 10th Birthday

Posted on August 16, 2014

Happy 10th birthdayOPW – Aug 16 – We've been so busy working on OPW that we actually forgot our own birthday! The first post was published on this blog on June 9th, 2004. Since then, more than 8,000 news summaries were posted and we've conducted more than 250 interviews with dating industry execs and service providers. And we've had 8,500+ comments from you, thank you – your opinion is always valued and appreciated.

We are trying to make OPW's news easier to access – you can get them directly to your mailbox, every day or a summary once a week, find them on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, you can even install an OPW toolbar right to your browser.

We like what we do, so OPW got several younger siblings over the years, e.g. Social Networking Watch, Internet Dating Affiliates and a couple of smaller blogs. Wearable.ai is the newest member of the family. But it all started with OnlinePersonalsWatch – so, please wish firstborn a happy birthday by Liking us on Facebook. We're committed to you, and helping the Internet dating industry grow.

    I began to read OPW last May 2005.
    The Online Dating Industry needs Innovations, but the Innovations the Online Dating Industry needs will come from only one source: the latest discoveries in theories of romantic relationships development with commitment.
    WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
    but no one is using the 16PF5 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
    but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
    but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
    but no one is scientifically proven!
    The only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals (needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between prospective mates.)
