There seems to be no end to the things animal shelters can learn from online dating sites. First, it was that using a good picture means you're more likely to get picked. And now, many shelters are using a system called Meet Your Match, which was developed by the ASPCA. It's a program that matches up pets and the people looking to adopt them using a color-coded system that takes into account personalities, energy levels, and needs. More »

eHarmony will begin providing same-sex matches for gays and lesbians. The site had been heavily criticized for not catering to people seeking same-sex relationships and the decision to change policy came after a New Jersey man filed a complaint in 2005. Under the terms of the settlement, eHarmony can create a new or differently named web site for same-sex singles. Good news for the gays, but probably bad news for Chemistry.com, which ran a whole ad campaign by appealing to prude-y eHarmony's rejects. [LA Times, Never Blog] More »

So you're a swinging single and you've had a one-night stand. What's the etiquette for establishing boundaries, calling the day after and getting out without hurting feelings? So began an email dispatched to me and all eHarmony members touting a story called "Navigating the One-Night Stand," about the rules of fucking "Mr. Right For The Night." Well. The story has since disappeared from the website and the internet at large, because eHarmony doling out advice about casual sex is sort of like George W. Bush on acing an intellectual history exam, which is why I clicked on it when it was still online. "Don't stay the night," was one of the first rules. Good point! I always let the dude sleep over, and it never gets me any farther along the "Finding A Husband" route. Anyway, the eHarmony people have since renounced one-night stands entirely, labeling them "inconsistent" with "long term relationship success," and since long term relationship success is what we're all seeking here I asked myself whether I shouldn't do the same, and focus on finding a mate with an established interest in finding Ms. Right. That's right, I checked out my eHarmony "matches"! More »
