Dating Site 1 - Dating
Direct
The UK's largest online dating site with over two million subscribers
and counting! |
|
What I like about this site:
With such a huge user database you could almost guarantee that you'd
find that special someone in your own town and maybe even your own
street. I live in a small town and my first search returned over
100 singles within 5 miles of my own house.
The interface is clean and simple, almost googlesque in fact. This
site really knows what peopled want from a dating site, after choosing
your country only once, you're presented with the Dating Direct
search page and this is the first page you're shown on each returning
visit. The results are both fast and relevant, personal pictures
are displayed where present and clicking on the names reveals the
personal profiles. Again the information is relevant and presented
on a clear, simple and easy to read format.
Search Results:
Man seeking Women. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 100+
Women seeking Man. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 100+

Dating Site 2 - Meetic
A refreshingly different dating site, one of the largest in Europe. |
|
What I like about this site:
After an initial search, your'e greated by a bright and colourful
grid of search results. There's an online indicator light under
each person's profile to tell you if they're currently online and
presumably ready to chat. There's also an email button and a very
intriguing 'Tease' button. Signup membership is Free and will give
you access to peoples full online profiles.
Search Results:
Man seeking Women. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 18
Women seeking Man. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 68

Dating Site 4 - Yahoo!
Personals (UK & Ireland)
Yahoo! Personals UK & Ireland is Yahoo!s online dating service,
aimed at users aged between 25 and 50. |
|
What I like about this site:
Yahoo! Personals launched in Europe in June 2003, but are already
a top 3 player and are aiming at number 1. With the Yahoo! brand
and financial backing this could soon become a reality. Yahoo! Personals
offers a simple, efficient and most of all effective service. As
with other Yahoo service such as their highly succesfull email service
Yahoo! put a lot of time and energy into improving the service and
the user experience.
Profiles can be created quickly and easily, in fact if you have
a Yahoo! mail account it's simply a case of logging into the site
with your Yahoo! ID. The search speed and relevance is top notch,
not suprising really given Yahoo!'s long history in search technologies.
One noticeable difference between this site and other UK Dating
Sites is that it offers gay, lesbian and heterosexual searches.
Search Results: (Gay / Lesbian searches ommitted for consistency)
Man seeking Women. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 56
Women seeking Man. Aged 25 - 30. In my town - 75
