Hi Erhardt

The International Journal of Emerging Technologies & Society has a few
publications in this area (mainly sociological and one psychological):

I'm preparing to co-lead a core conversation at SXSW on online dating
websites and trends. We've been looking at academic work like Judith
Donath's as well as the more cheeky but practical research on the
OkTrends
blog from OkCupid. Does anyone know of good case studies of particular
online dating websites, or historical studies of trends in online
dating?
Sources focusing on website design as well as sociological and
psychological
aspects would all be helpful.

Additionally, any questions about online dating sites and culture that
you
might be interested in exploring the answers to, or simply discussing,
would
be great.

Thanks,
Erhardt
