DW WORLD - Aug 20 - Every month ~7M German singles are active on online
dating sites. And with over 2,000 German online dating sites, it would
seem that these singles are spoiled for choice. This, however, isn't
necessarily the reality as the public loses track of which sites are
actually useful, according to Henning Wiechers, CEO of
Singleboersen-vergleich, an online portal that rates dating websites in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Although many areas of e-commerce tend
to be dominated by large American companies, Wiechers said 7 of
Germany's top 10 online dating platforms are "made in
Germany." Hamburg-based ElitePartner targets high-income singles with a
university education. ElitePartner's last year's turnover was over 20M
euros ($25 million). Other leading websites, like FriendScout24 said it registers thousands of new members every day. FULL ARTICLE @ DW WORLD
