LONDON EVENING STANDARD - Dec 14 - 15M people in Britain are single,
and ~5M are shopping for love online. The next dating revolution is
happening in your pocket and it's all about location. Soon, Apple's
iPhone and other touchscreen mobile devices will replace PCs as the
main way we engage with social media. In 2007 the global mobile dating
market was pegged at £200M, that figure rose to £332M worldwide in 2008
and is expected to more than double over the next five years, reaching
~£784M by 2013. Grindr, which launched in March this year, is presently
most popular in San Francisco, with its dense concentration of gay men
and iPhone customers, but gained more than 30,000 British
users. GPS-enabled dating apps aimed exclusively at the straight market
have just arrived, StreetSpark, Skout and Are You Interested being some
of the latest. FULL ARTICLE @ LONDON EVENING STANDARD
