Filed in archive Dating Sites by Mark Brooks on November 03, 2006

Consumating - "Find People Who Don't Suck" - Launched the summer of 2005 and was acquired by CNET in December 2005. Tagging plays a big part. Aimed at young hipsters who make themselves more "popular" by answering questions to fill out their profile. Offers contests and weekly user quizzes.
Engage - Hooks up couples Fiddler-on-the-Roof-style through matchmaking. Users sign up with the usual descriptive profile, but then take on the role of either "dater" or "matchmaker" (or both).
Google Personals - Google Base - User profiles highly targeted towards dating. Other features include labels (tags), location mapping, and an anonymous email to be reached at.
GreatBoyFriends - Friends, family and ex's are asked to leave feedback about users. GBF then verifies the endorsement or removes it.
MatchActivity - MatchActivity is a new site that sets up a date before the introduction. Users post activities in their area and then choose the respondent they like the most and carry out the date.
MatchTag - Same core activity tagging feature of MatchActivity.com, but wraps it in a more complete social network. A service to meet new dates and friends.
MingleNow - Users group themselves by what real world locations they hang out at (bars, restaurants, cafe's, etc.) so groups can mingle online and off.
PlentyofFish - A very large dating site. Users browse personal profiles free of charge, with a bulletin board system that allows users to freely chat, vent frustrations, and offer up dating advice.
Poddater - Users create profile videos and allow others to download them and view them. Prescription4Love - Niche site devoted to people facing thestigma of special conditions, such as deafness, HIV, or obesity.
RateOrDate - A meta-dating-search site that features couple ratings, singles event listings, and a dating site directory.
VerbDate - Adds voice to the usual online dating experience via Skype and incorporates Flickr photo albums. Allows the greatest amount of interaction while remaining physically separated.
Wikia Personals - Aims to create a free global personals page.
If numbers of profiles matter plentyoffish
leads the pack. Our anticipated favorite is MingleNow - tying socializing to real-world hangouts is a great idea. FULL ARTICLE @ TECHCRUNCH BLOG
