BALTIMORE SUN - Aug 9 - Yes, Twitter love. It’s happening. Love shows up in unexpected places online. Several dating services and relationship coaches are geared to the social media platform. “Social media has a big role to play in dating because social media is all about connections and communication, and dating is the same thing,” said Ben Parr, editor at large at Mashable. “Twitter will always have a role just as Facebook has a role in dating … and the entire relationship cycle.” Some Twitter-based services, like Luv@FirstTweet, which launched this year, cater to those used to traditional online dating services like Match.com. ~1,200 people are currently signed up for Luv@FirstTweet, a free service that co-founder Jon Lehr bills as “building an online dating profile on the go.” Some would argue the Twitter dating pool may be a bit shallower than general. A recent poll by OkCupid found that people who use Twitter tend to have shorter relationships.
