Dating Sites Have Made It Easier For People To Click With One Another
ECONOMIST – Dec 29 – The new year can be an unhappy time but it is a golden opportunity for dating sites, as singles are hoping to find romance—ideally before February 14th. “The period between New Year’s Day and Valentine’s Day is our busiest six weeks of the year,” explains Sam Yagan, from OkCupid. Once seen as the last resort for a bunch of lonely geeks, online-dating services have gradually shed much of the stigma formerly associated with them. ComScore says Match.com and Zoosk saw 4.6M and 4.8M unique visitors respectively in November 2010. Deepak Kamra of Canaan Partners, an American VC firm that has backed Zoosk and BharatMatrimony, estimates that the industry’s revenues now amount to $3 billion-4 billion a year. The online-dating world has also spawned thousands of niche ones. Then there is the fuss over sites such as Illicit Encounters and Ashley Madison, which match people seeking partners for extramarital affairs. But to blame the service for infidelity is to confuse cause and effect. FULL ARTICLE @ ECONOMIST

Indians Get Particular About Online Marriage
AFP – Feb 13 - Marriage — or "shaadi" in Hindi — remains a cornerstone of society in conservative India, with hundreds of matchmaking sites concentrating on finding their members suitable life partners rather than casual dates. Long-established portals like shaadi.com, bharatmatrimony.com and jeevansathi.com offer general searches. Yazdi Tantra, a computer consultant in Mumbai, runs theparsimatch.com, one of a number of websites for the dwindling community of followers of the ancient Zoroastrian faith. Sanjeev Pahwa, head of the New Delhi-based firm Strikeone Advertising, said targeting niche groups made business sense as he realised smaller start-ups like his couldn't compete with the major players. The result was bposhaadi.com, for call centre workers and govtshaadi.com, targeting state sector employees looking for love.
