| Beware Yahoo Personals’ deceptive billing policy
You might be wondering what a post like this is doing on a blog largely about VoIP, but bear with me. To some extent, this post is about VoIP. And athough I try not to air my consumer grievances here, I am writing this post to warn you about a practice that your knowledge of can save you some dollars. OK, first let us go back a year. My love life, my dating life, was in a rough patch. (If you want details, you buy the next pitcher). Not wanting to remain in the state I just referred to, I decided I would declare a jihad on loneliness. Being a creature of the Internet, I posted a profile on several dating sites including Yahoo! Personals. My Match.com profile soon led to a happy result. That's her photo on the top of my CPU tower. As soon as the ultimately "happy result" became quantifiable, I let my Yahoo! Personals account lapse.

SayHeyHey: Online dating gets video site
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Many online dating sites seek to connect soul mates, to bring together those looking for eternal and everlasting love. The latest Internet dating site, recently launched in Palo Alto, is not one of them. "It's not about marriage," said Alex Gurevich, co-founder of SayHeyHey.com, the first free all-video online dating site. The new site eschews the typical format of online dating sites where users carefully word profiles and post photos "from 10 years and 20 pounds ago," Gurevich said. Instead, users of SayHeyHey post videos of themselves talking, wakeboarding or — in co-founder Soudy Khan's case — utilizing a beer bong. If a visitor is interested in someone else's clip, he or she can send a video introduction.
Beauties and the bad-boy beasts
Kate Moss lurches from Pete Doherty into the arms of another unsuitable man. Sienna Miller falls for confirmed cheater Jude Law. Britney Spears marries white trash poster boy K-Fed. And Simone continues to return to Shane Warne, despite shenanigans with blow-up dolls, X-rated video footage and way too many text-sex affairs. So why does this happen? Why is it that so many girls wax lyrical over dating some bloke who refuses to return their calls, won't be caught dead meeting her folks, never buys her gifts (unless he wants something in return) and hardly remembers her name? Introducing the bad boy - aka the blokes beautiful women tend to fall hopelessly in love with. But why? There's a brilliant line in the recent Hollywood flick Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry, that poses that very same question.
Eons.com Boomer Sex & Intimacy Survey Reveals Majority of People Over ...
BOSTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Eons.com, a social network for boomers, released the latest results of its Sex & Intimacy Survey, gauging the sexual attitudes and activities of 10,000+ respondents ages 50 to 65. According to the survey, 87% of respondents report that sex is an important part of their lives, 45% report having sex at least once per week and 88% are interested in spicing up their sex lives by trying something "new." The data reveals that the "free love" generation of the 1960's still harbors the same open attitudes toward sex, communication and intimacy in their later years. The Eons.com Sex & Intimacy Survey dispels common misconceptions about sex after 50, and how boomers are openly discussing the formerly taboo topic of sex. "Boomers are still shattering myths about health, sex drive and prowess," says Eons Founder and CEO Jeff Taylor.
