PR WEB – Apr 14 – Skyecandy is moving away from Skype to the Web by launching "Introduce ME". Skyecandy Video Dating on the Web remains just like speed dating, but from the comfort of home. Users go for one to ten dates, face-to-face, to see where their webcam takes them. There is no hiding behind profiles or photos from years ago. They say Yes or No between dates to tell Skyecandy how it went. If it is a Yes both ways, they have found their match. They are free to exchange their chosen IMs or Social Network contacts and take their second dates anywhere. With Introduce ME users find people they like and send personal, one-to-one, introductions. If people say Yes to their introductions, they are free to exchange messages and contacts and off they go.
