[Air-l] RE: Online Dating services

[Fernando Polo]

Ulla,

Just before reading your request for help, I was having a look at this
article in MSNBC News:
http://export.msnbc.com/news/806278.asp?cp1=1

The only problem is that it could be a bit old (I couldn't find the
date).

You will also find a lot of resources about dating communities
(including interviews with founders, and a lot of related news links) in
the Online Community Report (www.ocreport.com). Dig in the archives, and
you will find useful info.

Hope this helps.

Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org

I'm requesting help to track down a *popular press* article (preferably
online, but not necessary) that reviews the current trends and/or issues
about online dating. 

I'm NOT looking for something that reads essentially like an
advertisement for any one of the numerous online services. 

I'm hoping to find something like a Wired article, or along those lines,
on how dating and relationship forming have been changed/influenced by
the current surge toward online dating services.

Responses on or off list (bunz at scils.rutgers.edu) are appreciated.
Thanks, Ulla
