This is actually the news for May. We're playing catch up. I had some critiques of the video and fixed them. You said you weren't happy with the sound quality. We fixed it with a pro microphone. You wanted hi-res. You got it. You weren't happy with the video quality, so I nixed my mug from the video and added hi quality images.
June, July and August are in process.
- Meetic's strategy after buying Match UK
- Dating site abuses Obama
- Zoosk adds Netflix and Last.fm to date cards
- CNN features virtual currencies
- Craigslist sues South Carolina attorney general
- DNA dating safety and ethics concerns
- Matchmaking does ok despite the downturn
- Illinois state nixes tax hikes that include taxing dating sites
- Sex toys for the horny Japanese
We're working on June, July and August videos. Please let me know if there's any other ways we can do better with them, and make them more useful.
Hi Mark
Thanks for putting this summary together. Really like the revised format and I look forward to the June, July and August editions.

Thanks for the feedback Matt. The videos are processed by Shawn, who is new on the Courtland Brooks team. He's pretty handy with Adobe Premiere. I tried my hand at Final Cut Express. I wish I had time to tinker with it and do these videos. Its fun working on them. But Shawn runs rings around me. We'll be doing more with video. We're thinking about doing the following...
1. Quick Reviews - quick reviews of new products
2. Quick Demos - quick demos of client products, on occasion
3. The Educational Series - longer videos overviewing new tech and areas of interest to dating marketeers, managers and executives
Right now we're focusing on launching the Internet Dating Newswire. Then we'll be turning our attention to making the January Online Personals Awards a reality. Stay tuned.
