| Online dating site's creator isn't really jumping in blind
Online dating requires a leap of faith, but a new Web site is hoping adventurous Austinites will be open to an even wilder idea: online blind dating. Sam Yagan, the New York-based founder of the site OkCupid!, has introduced a new site called CrazyBlindDate, which launched this month in its first city, Austin. Potential daters enter only a small amount of personal information to get set up on a local blind date or double date in a location they choose. CrazyBlindDate hunts for matches who are willing to go on a short-notice date that incorporates text messages and an after-date rating system. We talked to Yagan, who came to town to promote the new site. .
New UK Service That Matches People Via Mobile Phone
In addition to the basic service YourMyCrush.com will soon be expanding to include an online store, dating tips, an advice forum and other customisable areas for users to make use of with their mobile phones. The service is presently limited to UK mobile phone networks but will shortly be providing access to other countries in Europe and the rest of the world. Overall, this is a simple idea, executed cleanly, providing a very helpful and (so far) very successful new mobile match making system. The key demographic is young teens and the "school youth" area, however the site has seen a number of 'older' people use the system successfully too. At the end of the day you are only as old as you feel. About YourMyCrush.com: http://YourMyCrush.com is a mobile content provider and unique mobile service provider for the United Kingdom.
