HERALD SCOTLAND - Feb 12 - With the online dating industry predicted to be worth £150M annually in the UK by 2014, it is big business.

It has now ~1M users and has recently launched in Ireland. Ottokar Rosenberger, UK manager at eHarmony.co.uk, said changes in society such as moving around more and not necessarily having strong social or family networks had helped contribute to the popularity of internet dating.
