OPW -- June 19 -- Markus Frind, CEO of PlentyofFish is on The Today Show this morning. One man, one (simple) site, #1 in Canada, #1 in U.K. (for heterosexual dating) and #4 in U.S.A. He said he wanted to be the top dating site in the world...and he's actually doing it! One guy (and his girlfriend, Annie) !!! He's an inspiration. Is he a threat to YOUR business? What to do? Your comments please...
Markus Fring and Annie are an inspiration. “There is only one way to make a great deal of money; and that is in a business of your own.” – J. Paul Getty. It is not just that Markus has his own business, it is that his style. That is he basically runs it out of his basement, he does not take heed of cynics but just keeps focused on his vision

Does Markus' Plenty of Fish free-to-users concept threaten the dating industry? There are plenty who are anxious. I see Markus (and anyone who's providing a truly great solution for single love seekers) to be a colleague, not a competitor. There's absolutely no shortage of single people looking for better and better ways of finding the right people for the right reasons. ROCK ON, Markus.

There is no way what he says about what he is doing is the truth. Ask about what other vendors he is using to offload his volume? Another example of don't believe everything you hear. If it sounds too good to be true....
