How to combine Dating and Networking at your Dating Site?

This year is a year of complex solution in business, and Online Dating is not an exception. It's evident that a good mixture of Dating and Networking features will lead to a sucessful Personals site online. A bunch of features is highly demanded nowadays like widened range of search options, sections to store personal links and contacts, speed dating and events, matchmaking services. Newcomers in Online Dating Industry try to combine all that in their Dating Sites. Here's another example I have found today.

It's PoconoSpaces.com, the dating site created by a Poconos, PA native and launched today. It combines the functionality of a dating site within a social networking environment. Pocono (and Pennsylvania) locals can create and customize their own pages and then look for and/or attract other like minded individuals for intimate encounters.

"Helping adults to spice up their sex life is hot and so is social networking, so it only makes sense that we combine the two," states the CEO for PoconoSpaces.com. "Whether you're talking about finding the best Italian restaurant or a reliable plumber, PoconoSpaces.com provides robust local search capabilities, along with ratings and user ratings, to connect circles of trusted individuals."

Actually, they as many others tried to create a comunity within a Dating site for locals. It's a great plus if people on your site have an opportunity to discuss things not connected with Dating itself and to share things they own or know. So if you're planning to start Online Dating Business think of the ways you can entertain people on your site like events, news, forums, blogs and so on. Your comments are welcomed!
