THE DAILY TELEGRAPH - May 20 - EasyDate is looking to expand internationally, raise funds and launch a new site that will allow singles to browse all the available online dating toos. "It'll be a bit like a comparison site", said Bill Dobbie, chairman and founder of EasyDate. "Canoodle is one of our R&D experiments. Users would key in their requirements and all dating sites would be searched to help find that ideal companion. EasyDate was formed in 2005 when Dobbie teamed up with software writer Max Plyakov and has been growing steadily ever since. "Unlike our competition such as Match.com and DatingDirect, we operate a portfolio of sites and we are a niche operator", says Dobbie. "EasyDate can launch both new niche sites itself or, as a white-label site provider, with a partner." Alongside the niche and comparison site approach comes global growth. EasyDate's international expansion began last year. "We are now in all the English-speaking countries and beginning to look at Spanish-speaking and others such as Sweden, Netherlands and Thailand". He plans to launch in Brazil this year. EasyDate sees 155,000 a month income from its Australian site. FULL ARTICLE @ TELEGRAPH.CO.UK
