The Sky Is Falling on Online Dating
First, Happy Valentine's Day!!! Or, as a coworker put it, Happy Singles Appreciation Day!
In the spirit of the season, Blind Boy Grunt pointed me to an article by Shia Kapos in the Trib about the death of online dating...or maybe just its plateau of growth. The truth is, online ads are projected to pull in more money over the long term than offline services. And their competition also comes from Craigslist - which offers personals for free (for everything from serious dating to one night stands).
For those in the cheap seats (or maybe just new to my blog), actforlove.org is *the* place to meet your soulmate. You can also access their database via The Onion and Salon Personals. Just ask mi chavo for proof that cupid resides with the progressives behind the aforementioned service...and if you are anywhere left of center politically, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from jdate.
