(Online Dating Industry Journal) Growing in popularity, RandoMate is the fifth service Online Dating Magazine has tracked to bring speed dating into the online environment. The service puts members into online speed dating chats where they spend five minutes with "five suitable partners" during each session. The service is for heterosexuals, gays, and lesbians.
The service was launched by 29-year-old Art Harrison who lives in Toronto, Canada. Following in the footsteps of PlentyofFish's Markus Frind, Harrison says:
"I AM Randomate.com. There was no seed money, no start-up funding, no venture capitalists, no development team -- there was no one but me. I do the programming, the design, the eating, the sleeping, the coffee brewing and everything else it takes to get and keep this site going..."
Harrison bills his site as "speed dating 2.0"
Joe's Comments
These online speed dating sites are starting to pop up as the "new niche" to target. It will be interesting to see who reigns supreme. The very early adopter, in480.com, is struggling. SpeedDate and WooMe are doing good for having just launched recently. Camlink is the other newbee on the block.
