Many Body Theory

SmartDate is charging users $20/week subscription plans… that means 80 a month… I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I wonder what kind of charge back rate these guys are seeing..

Ignighter has gone through a lot of changes with their site, from trying something original, to copying SinglesNet to now focusing on India (6 positions in India)… the least they can do is redirect popular pages properly.

If you search for Ignighter.com on Google you’ll find top results that now just go to “404 - Does not exist” pages.

Match.com recently acquried free online dating site OkCupid for 50M in cash plus additional earn-out bonuses. Rumor is that OkCupid was only making 4M-5M a year which means that they were acquired for over 10x their revenue… not too bad.

To my knowledge this is the largest evaluation Match.com has ever given a company upon acquisition (I heard SinglesNet and People Media were between 1x-3x multiples).
