WASHINGTON TIMES -- Nov 25 -- Tracy has multiple sclerosis. "I went
online and I looked under 'disabled dating' and there was nothing,"
said Tracey, who debuted Special Singles Onlinein July 2004. Ms. Saks is one of an increasing number of operators of
niche dating sites in an industry that ballooned from $50 million in
2000 to an estimated $490 million this year. Even traditional
matchmakers are finding their way to the Web. The Right One and Together Dating, an offline matchmaking service, is offering a "hybrid" online dating option, ELove.com. CEO Paul Falzone,

membership. Offline services charge more because they do more of the
work, Mr. Falzone said. FULL ARTICLE @ WASHINGTON TIMES
