KissBurg.com Brings Free Online Dating to New York and Beyond

Online dating sites are sprouting like mushrooms everywhere and are going to extraordinary lengths to get their fingers on the pie – a multi-million-dollar pie. With such large profits at stake, expect the competition to be cutthroat – and it is. Some sites stop at nothing to lure singles. Naturally, these tactics add up to overhead, an overhead that can only be covered if the site charges monthly memberships that could easily run up anywhere from $500 to $1,000 a year!

Must finding a match really be so costly? “It shouldn’t be,” shares Kissburg.com founder Carmine DiRe. “Being single is rough enough, being constantly hit for payments makes it even worse. What’s even more tragic is that most of these online dating sites don’t really care about helping you meet your match online.

Kissburg.com differentiates itself from other sites in the dating pond through its mantra of quality, not quantity. Aside from its “you don’t need to pay anything whatsoever” guarantee, Kissburg.com stands by its principle of providing “caliber over number”. Says Kissburg.com founder Carmine DiRe, “Most dating sites boast of a behemoth singles database. What’s the point in that? You might have 30 million single members online but would it really help your search any if most of them are unemployed, emotionally unavailable, are still living with mom, or are simply unattractive? Our goal is simple. It’s not to be the biggest or the best. It’s simply to create a win-win situation for everyone.”

As if these two aren’t enough, the site also provides a wide array of dating tools designed to make your search easier. Kissburg.com lets you narrow your search to certain traits. Want to share how your most recent date went? Kissburg.com lets you kiss and tell, too, through a section where you can recommend which bad date spots to avoid or simply entertain other singles with your most recent dating capers.

When it comes to love, why entrust your heart to people who are only after your purse strings and your plastic? It takes people who’ve had a hard time finding love to truly understand just how difficult it is to find love. Through Kissburg.com, singles are offered an anti-conformist way to find potential matches for free, easily, and without compromising their standards or their values.

The popularity of YouCanGetMe.com amongst the young Online Dating audience has increased during the past year and EasyDate wanted to reflect this in the visual identity of the new site. The site was the first audio-video dating site in the UK to offer singles the opportunity to meet their dates using the cutting-edge SeeMe, HearMe, MeetMe technology, which enables singles to see and hear each other before arranging to meet in person.

The audio-video chats have been gradually incorporated to each one of the Online Dating sites within the company portfolio.

Dream-Marriage.com Expands Online Dating for Men

Dream-Marriage.com – the premier personalized dating and marriage agency for men seeking relationships with Russian women – has announced that they have expanded the Russian Dating Guide section of their website at www.dream-marriage.com. This guide, written in an informal and informative blog-style, offers practical, hands-on advice about virtually all aspects of meeting, dating and even marrying Russian women online.

“At Dream-marriage.com, we pride ourselves on not only listening to our customers, but doing whatever it takes to meet their needs,” said Tim Zelmer, Manager of Public Relations. “Over the years, the most common concerns our customers have had have revolved around the actual “how to” aspect of approaching the women on our site who they are interested in. Some customers felt intimidated about actually starting a conversation with a beautiful Russian woman in one of our chat rooms, while others weren’t certain about what the best ways to advance a relationship were after the initial conversation or email. The Dream-Marriage Dating Guide addresses those questions and concerns – and many, many more – with practical, easy to understand and implement tips, and so far the response to this section of our site has been 100% positive.”

The Russian Dating Guide features hundreds of entries on topics as diverse as how to avoid getting scammed at online dating sites, characteristics Russian women admire, how to start a conversation with a Russian woman and even how to write a poem for a Russian woman. While the guide is organized by the date of the entry, an index to both broad “categories” of posts (such as Anti-Scam, General dating, etc) and the most recent posts is provided. There is also a search function which allows users to search topics and posts by keyword. The Russian Dating Guide is offered as a free service to the general public, and can be accessed by both members and non-members of dream-marriage.com. While other informational areas of the dream-marriage.com website are reserved for members only, these may also be accessed free of charge by signing up for the three-day free trial offered at the site.

“We firmly believe that for Dream-Marriage to continue to grow, both our current customers and our potential future customers need to have the tools and information to allow them to make their Russian dating experience the best it can be,” said Zelmer. “Our Russian Dating Guide is just one of the many ways that we are trying to ensure a positive, successful and fulfilling Russian dating experience for our customers. The hundreds of emails we receive from satisfied customers each month tells us that we are on the right track, and you can certainly expect further customer care areas to be added to the dream-marriage.com site in the near future.”

Dream-marriage plans to continue to expand the Russian Dating Guide with new entries for the foreseeable future. Users of the guide are invited to respond to individual posts, or submit questions which they would like to see addressed.

Online Dating Review: LavaLife Prime

Lavalife Prime is a new online dating site that was launched in June 2007. Already they have over 40,000 active members (as of August, 2008). This service is designed for the Baby Boomers so the minimum age to join is 40. This makes most members in the 50 to 65 age range.

Lavalife Prime blends social networking with dating in a new way that allows you to make the decision on who you want to spend your time and communicate with. Members on this site are very active. There are many different topics of conversation (online chatting and the message forums) so it easy to jump right in to meet new people, whether it is for a Relationship or as just Friends.

Some Positive points about the site are:

• A dating service with useful social networking features.

• Reply to any email or forum topic for FREE! This feature allows you to really test this dating service.

• Not just for singles. Meet new friends!

Some Negative points about the site are:

• If you are someone who likes their matches handed to them, this site is not for you. Part of the experience of Lavalife Prime is to engage in communication with other members. This enables you to decide who is a match for you.

• Big issue! Could use a keyword search for life experiences. The Life Experiences feature is a great tool to find out about the person, why can’t I search them Lavalife?

• Search results should display the number of Life Experiences the person has entered for their profile.

With memberships ranging from Free to $29.99 a month, if you are over the age of 40 and single, this site is definitely worth a shot. Give it a try!

Online Dating for the Hearing-Impaired

www.Deafloves.com is a single online dating community dedicated to helping deaf and hearing-impaired men and women meet other singles in a comfortable online environment. Raymont Calloway has found match on here, “I want to say thanks so much to www.deafloves.com…I found Lady today…that so great… I will tell all my friends about www.deafloves.com are great great good work FIND Dating or New Friend.”

More and more people these days are finding love online be it due to time constraints, unsociable working hours or simply the death of the community, but one thing is for sure, this is the fastest growing way to meet potential partners.

At first glance, it may seem like just another set of niche online dating sites. After all, Catholics and Jews have them. Seniors have them. Even Pet lovers have them. And now, deaf people have them. But there’s something a little more important about these new services that are attracting thousands of single deaf people seeking companionship and love, experts say.

“Apparently, it’s more difficult for some specific publics to find their matches around them, especially for deaf people.”

“www.deafloves.com helps deaf singles pile out of the corners. As you know, we are living in soundless, so lonely. Fortunately, we can find more friends who have similar fate, or interests. And share or listen respectfully feeling in deep heart on this site. That something we may not tell anybody around us.” Michael said.

Members on Deafloves seem in high quality. The majority of the profiles we searched out had photos. The pretty photos helps play into the success of this site and the dedication of its members to provide information to attempt to attract the best and honest guy, as you want.
