Pretty awesome stuff this. Marcus Frind who set up and runs, on his own, the free dating site Plenty of Fish has a piccy of his cheque for two months worth of clicks from Google and its for 991,733 Canadian dollars or 480,561 pounds thats around 8000 pounds a day! His main cost is the hosting charges at 6,500 pounds a month. Wow.
I wonder if the mobsters will now start to blackmail him like with Alex Tew

Maya Lotan and Urbanseeder at Reboot8

Maya gave one of the most interesting talks at Reboot8. she described the experimental work she had been doing at Urbanseeder. the very apt talk title was 2 shots of flirting a shot of fashion and a twist of fate. Her website is at Urbanseeder

She compared her site to current online dating services.
Current >>> Urbanseeder
immediacy versus delay
formal vs ambigous
profiling vs mystery
isolated vs integral

Technology makes mistakes so minimize its role. Lure the hunters into your territory add joint junctions and twist fate to create ‘accidental’encounters.

Create familar strangers less than saying can I have your number more hope to see you around.

All done by handing out seeds – unique patterns than can be matched later.
Currently sheis trialing at a university. Will be interesting to see if it reaches the mainstream.

Cambridge Evening News –

Ellee and I have managed to get another article in the Cambridge Evening News. This weeks one deals with the lawyers at Mills and Reeve and their Naked Law blog. This time it has appeared directly on their website as well as in the print edition. Pity they have screwed up all the url’s by suffixing them with a /p

Never mind we are slowly getting there with them.
