Friend Finder

Contrast that experience at Yahoo! with the FriendFinder family of sites. They let you know who you're writing to. You can tell if they've paid or not. They have friend networks that you can set up. It's really geared towards being available, not guessing as at Yahoo.

I've actually had a few dates from their sites and I much prefer their attitude. Their model is even being reproduced at other locations, like LA/OC Weekly Personals. The website is highly refined and designed to give you feedback.

One other thing, Match.com has the same attitude as Yahoo, only worse. The guy who runs Match also owns sex.com, the domain name. So if you want avoid supporting a man who promotes porn, avoid Match.com.

Well, I think I've done enough damage for a day. See you whenever.
