Mark Brooks: Singles events are a great way to meet people but are very high workload to organize. Match used to offer Matchlive.com but folded it in 2004. (Full Disclosure: POF is a client of Courtland Brooks, and I was VP of Cupid.com at the time they acquired PreDating.com, the speed-dating arm of Cupid)
