WSJ - July 14 - According to Handmade Mobile Entertainment, the operator of online flirting network Flirtomatic, more and more people want to use the computer and mobile phone for quick, romantic fun, rather than to merge their soul with another.Handmade Mobile raised a $9M Series C round. Juniper Research has estimated the market will grow to ~$1.4 billion in revenue by 2013. Other services include MeetMoi, which is tied more to a user’s mobile location, and BigCafe, which rewards members the more they play with points and “coins” used to send virtual gifts. Flirtomatic’s goal is to make it as easy as possible to meet others through a mobile device. A user can sign up and begin flirting with the 2.7M registered members in less than a minute.
