The Match.com and Facebook Matchup

The Match.com and Facebook Matchup

Over the last five years, social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace have taken cyberspace by storm. Not surprisingly, people in search of online love would also like to take advantage of some of the features offered by social networking sites. Today, Match.com is pairing up with Facebook to bring the best of both worlds to web singles. Although this method of combining social networking and dating sites may have some advantages, there are still some things to consider.

On the beneficial side, Little Black Book, a brand new service offered by Match.com, will be less costly than membership with the personals service. Instead of paying a monthly fee, you would only pay per contact for individuals that you would like to date. Considering how popular Facebook is, and the immense pool of singles to choose from, the odds are very good of finding someone to pair up with.

On the other hand, a matchmaking website can be created in such a way that membership is based on pre-screening criteria. Therefore, if you want to make sure that your potential dates are from a certain background, or have not been to prison, the wider pool of potential may not be of much use to you. That said, if you believe finding your soul mate requires some sort of randomness, then perhaps the larger selection offered by Little Black Book is just what you need.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, many factors come into play. Because each single is unique, there is no real way to guarantee that one method of finding a mate will work for everyone. As social networking sites and internet personal ads sites continue to explore different types of joint programs, individuals that have not had success with online matchmaking may find success with these new offerings.
