THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - June 13 - Teenage girls are the latest singles
to join the online dating craze, but experts have urged them to
exercise caution when meeting people over the internet. Oasis Active,
especially popular among young Australian teens, has overtaken the
Fairfax-owned RSVP to become #1 site in the country, according to
comScore and Hitwise. Oasis Active launched in April 2008, has ~1.6M
members worldwide including ~800,000 in Australia. Up to 70% of
Australian users are aged from 18 to 35 - a younger demographic than
most dating sites, with 40% of that subgroup female. And while the site
has a policy of only accepting members 18 or older, The Sunday
Telegraph has spoken to girls as young as 15 who use the site. FULL ARTICLE @ HERALD SUN
