But this will be for members only as well as a featured real opportunity. Those featured opportunity won't be some webmasters who will pay me to be my featured opportunity, but a real opportunity that I will fund by myself and I will investigate to see if it's working before. I already have one amazing pearl, but the visitors will need to join the members and pay the one time fee. This is to let me get paid to investigate those hordes of scams and found one real opportunity here and there!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   I'm suprise there is not more sites like mine, serious site who will realy go far to find the pearl and then share it with a network of members. The fact is I'm not on earth to get rich, but to experiment and this site is a good experiment and there is my goal. This is my way of making the world better. I just want to see how those scammers will react to my offensive, because we must face it, they are not all the average joe who want to make some money, but well organized team with one functionality throw dirty money on the web to collect back clean money and sometimes make even money on the process. But don't be affraid, as I'm not a burn head and I'm not taking myself for a Rambo warrior. Just an average joe with a good will!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   So to all those scammers, ... no hurt feelings and....... let's WAARRR!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you steal money from honnest peoples, I will blacklist you and all my members will know you and they will spread the word, within few days the www will know it too !!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That's how an average joe can put down an organisation!! Ha! Ha! Ha!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good luck!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry to all my readers as I just bust out off my mind for a minutes, but I had to do so as I lost so much times these last few days to fun real opportunity, so imagine how much time all the peoples around the world have losted during those same few days! It could have been more productive and realy make the world business run! That's why I was mad and I start the site, wich is not totaly completed, but it will be ready for tomorrow and then I will put the address here to let you see and give me some feedback, if you want!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks and have a good day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steph&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30443909-115276740969274980?l=socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/feeds/115276740969274980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30443909&amp;postID=115276740969274980' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115276740969274980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115276740969274980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/2006/07/i-take-few-days-to-crawl-web-for-free.html' title=''/><author><name>steph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12217060178597312760</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30443909.post-115223826276478631</id><published>2006-07-06T21:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T22:11:02.793-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Amazing!!! It will be an amazing security feature!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I have to make a hard choice between two softwares, but both can do the work, it's just that I need to decide on the way they work, the operational cost and there limitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   There is some chance that I will even be able to get a more advanced feature that what I tought originaly, even if it was already a feature you can usualy see in those fantastic and futuristic movies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   I have to mention that with this feature, I can tell you that the freak you will have bad intentions about my futur members, must think twice before attempting somthing, he (or she) must go on other less advanced, dating sites, where security is not as important as making money!! (Oh! That one was below the b...!) But it's true and it's the main reason why I start this hole venture, give security, give interaction and make decent money and beleive me it's in this order, because if it wasn't the case, I woudn't be still in construction of that security section of the site. This is the hardest section, as nothing exist like that. The two software that I'm talking in the title can do the work, but they both need some modifications. I will probably be able to take a decision on my final choice as soon as I will receive there both quote and details on the modifications possible. I will keep you informed, as soon as I will make my choice. At that point it can go realy fast for the launch of the site, in the english version at least. Yes I plan to give to members a real multilanguage site, probably about 20 language choices. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Have a good day all!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Steph&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30443909-115223826276478631?l=socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/feeds/115223826276478631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30443909&amp;postID=115223826276478631' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115223826276478631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115223826276478631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/2006/07/amazing-it-will-be-amazing-security.html' title=''/><author><name>steph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12217060178597312760</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30443909.post-115214479607494986</id><published>2006-07-05T19:46:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-07-05T20:23:47.420-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;An amazing new security feature is on the way!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It need to be created, so it will cost a lot of $$$, but it will return to members and even to some visitors. It will create and boost new careers!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I decided to start asking for donation trough Paypal donation system, a small one time donation of 5 USD to help me keep the free membership interesting.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Most major dating sites are fooling new members by saying they offer a free membership, but in fact it's just a tricky way to attract you to get you upgrading your free membership to a paying membership. There free membership just give you the right to perform a quick search and see the general search results page. If you try to click on any profile in the search results pages, they send you to the upgrade membership page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I decided to give a free membership who will realy let you interact and communicate anonimously, with other members. Of course, there will be few advanced features who will be only for paying members, but all free members will get a full, unlimited access to a free section, with private mailbox the receive mail from other members, live chat and IM, etc., but I will need to get a form of money incoming, so I choose to give you the choice to give or not. I choose this form of incoming money because it didn't force anybody and I won't need to fill the free section of invasive ads and pop-ups. More money I will receive, more feature I will set free. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I will keep you inform of the progression of the project, as you can see, I'm posting here almost every day and in the most active part of the project, I will probably post twice a day. I will give you some news on your generosity, remember that it will comback to each of you as I will finish the project anyway, but the free section will be same og the other sites and the difference will be only in the features offered to paying members. I didn't want that and I'm sure that you didn't want that too, so if you show generosity, I will show generosity too and a unique 5$ US is not too risky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If you want to put in your contribution, just click on the Paypal donation button here on this post, or on the same button in the profile sidebar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you for all the futur free members!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" name="cmd"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="image" alt="Make payments with PayPal -

I may not be a programmer, but I know enough the stuff to get an idea of the skill it need to get it done properly. Some features have never been done before, for any kind of site, so how can some of them can tell me "Ok, let's start it, it will be realy easy!". They top it with a funny bid and time frame. I think most of them don't even read completely all the details I write in my specs, when they say 20 days to do the hole thing, we're talking about new kind of feature, realy complex and need someone with precise knowledge aspect of the programmation and must be familiare with dating scripts too as the core of the main section of the site is a debug dating script.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;YES, by the way, for those who can be tempted by the dating site venture and want to save time by choosing to get a dating script, they are all coming with there part of bugs, so you must put your critera on other, more important aspect, like if the script is partialy encrypted, what is the quality of the support service of the company who sale or offer the script(some are free), if it already have most of the feature you want, etc.! My point is you won't found THE perfect script as they all say THEY are the perfect script. If you want to get a good idea about the reputation of a dating script, just go on few specialised forums and you will learn a lot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I will tell you my programmer and my designer choice at the end of the week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thanks and have a good day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Steph&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30443909-115197602005335844?l=socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/feeds/115197602005335844/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30443909&amp;postID=115197602005335844' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115197602005335844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115197602005335844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/2006/07/i-understand-why-there-is-so-many.html' title=''/><author><name>steph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12217060178597312760</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30443909.post-115181793006037430</id><published>2006-07-02T01:12:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-07-02T01:25:30.070-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Here is a guy I want to present to you, Dave Evans!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   I want to talk about that guy, Dave, because I correct few aspect of my futur dating site project after visiting his site few times, great knowledge on the subject and lots of good articles related to the dating industry.

The first design modification will start soon!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   It will only consist on changing the color for the headers of all the box, top header and footer. Adding two photos and replacing the two links to the script builder. Yes, I take the first major decision by using a dating script as the main site script to build my custom web dating site, with a huge quantity of new custom features. This is mainly to save times, as I lost about 17 months already. We just had to debug the script and that start to add features. Now I'm at the stage of redesign a bit that dating script to personalize it and the programmer and I, will start to work probably this week, on adding those new features.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   So if you want to get involve in that process, just share your actual and/or your past experiences on dating sites, good or not. You can even ask for some features, I will see if I didn't already choose to add them and if not, I will see if other visitors will ask it too. There is almost 20 features who will be added to the basic usual features you can find on other and most of the major dating sites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   I will ask some questions about the site, to get your opinion, so I will start now with my first question, this is a major issue as most of the major dating site owner or administrators are talking about that. One of the reasons why dating sites didn't have a good reputation, most of the peoples who have already use a dating site,  say that a lots of peoples are filling there member's profile with false informations partialy or totaly. After using lots of those sites, intensively, I can say that it's most of the profiles who are not "accurate". Yes, most of you, who complaining about it, are the same peoples who fill those false profiles, in the name of protecting your privacy. I'm not pointing all of you, but most of you. The first one who can stand up and say honnestly that he or she fill there profile with 100% true informations only.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   But by doing this, you trap yourself in an unsecure environment. If everybody didn't put true informations, it mean that all of your dates are doing the same, so when come the time to meet those dates, who knows who you realy meet???.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   For the privacy, ALL the dating sites are asking members to use nicknames and to never give any personal contact or informations to OTHER members. I think that the first and the most important responsability of a member, is to fill all the form fields with true information. Each of us must understand that all the personal informations we provide in those sites are regulate by laws and each site who collect those informations, have responsabilities. I think that ALL the dating site owner or administrators, have some responsabilities too. The first one is to collect all the personal information of each member they accept, to identify with any doubt, each member, in the real life. So if a member do a criminal act on the use of the site features, or because of the use of the site, like dating a site member, any where in the world, the administrator of the site should be able to give those personal information to the police force in charge of the criminal event. It must be the only reason why a dating site should share the personal information of any member. That way, member can use the site in a real secure environment and still keep there privacy. Dating site administrator should keep those personnal information on a dedicated server, apart of the rest of the site, and use all the security tools he can get, to take care of the sensitive informations on all the members, to guaranty to each member, that there informations will be stored in a secure server and they will not share it with any third party company, for any reason, with the only exception of a criminal event involving an other member's security or integrity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   So here is my question: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Will you register with a dating site and filling all your true personal informations, if I guaranty all members that there informations will be 100% secured and still guaranty in the same time that there sensitive informations will not be shared, with anybody and for any reason, with the only exception of a case of a criminal investigation?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;   &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;How can a dating site administrator can guaranty a minimum of security if all members are filling the registering form with false informations. Let's face it, truth is always poping out somehow, someday and somewhere. It's your reputation who will be stained. Finaly think that if everybody fill the profile with true information, how it could become a great experience to meet honnest people. The basic ingredient at the formation of any relation is the confident in each other, so how do you think the other one can trust you if you lie to everyone in your profile, do you think saying that it was to keep your privacy intact will make them trust you 100%? No, they will keep a small doubt in there mind and at the first false move from you, they will remember about your lies in your profile and then start to think that if you did it again, you will do it again and again. Your relationship will eventualy failed and you will then have to start again. I will fill my part of the contract, I will put all on place to protect your personal informations, after you will fill it, it will be transfer on an offline server. Anybody who will claim they are you will have to answer few precise questions that you will setup at the time of the registration. Just to add more security, the server will be stored in an encrypted server, password protected and guard 24/24, 7/7 by security guards, the local will be equip with a security camera system and finaly with a well known security alarm system central. The employes(2) who will manualy manipulate your personal informations will be criminal record tracked and a private investigation will be done to ensure that they never got in a non criminal but still compromising situation, like working before for a marketing company, or something like that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30443909-115177451391134242?l=socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/feeds/115177451391134242/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30443909&amp;postID=115177451391134242' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115177451391134242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115177451391134242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/2006/07/good-news-first-design-modification.html' title=''/><author><name>steph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12217060178597312760</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30443909.post-115160149832185791</id><published>2006-06-29T11:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-06-29T13:18:18.336-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Hi to all of you and welcome to my blog!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   My indeep search on dating web sites and social network sites is coming from a simple question. Five years ago, I was asking myself about what kind of job I could create to make money enough to pay bills and at the same time, get more time to share with my kids and wife. It didn't take long to get the idea that the web could be a possible solution. I made a search on the net to see few possibilities. Among those, was figuring a creation and administration of a dating web site. At that time, it was popular but a bit new, on the financial aspect. I decided to follow the ten biggest at that time. I start to write down there good and bad caracteristics, considering the features, the membership price and/or hidden fees strategy, use of the site by the members, etc.! On a long time scale, I take a look at the frequence of improvements of the features, pricing strategy, quantity and quality of the visibility and the growth in number of members with the strategy related to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   The first thing I realized was the fact that the vast majority of them was there mainly to make big money, without taking care of the members experience. All the different strategies was targeting on money and get the lowest operating expences possible. The result was no frequent upgrades of the existing features or additon of new ones. Some dating site pricing strategy was to charge by contact and/or use of a new interactive feature, with the result of a plain static dating site. Most of the members was online for a few minutes, the time to check there mailbox, browse the new members in there area and leave. So it was almost impossible to get a live interaction. Some of them go even lower in the financial strategy field, by hiring nice women, to contact potential new members and get a commission on the money spend by men to interact with them. Those women had no intention to phisicaly date a man in the real world, so those guys where spending there money for nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   After each year, new serious dating sites was emerging, forcing the old sites to react and get better, but on few aspects, nothing as changed and for one aspect, it's even worst. Yes, on the pricing aspect, the original same service who was 19.95$ US, five years ago, is now between 39.95$ to 59.95$ US. On the interactivity features offer by few major dating sites, they use the smallest settings and they limit the time of use or the number of access to each feature, like the audio and video chat, the audio and video Instant Messenger, etc., to keep there operating costs as low as possible with the advantage of marketing that they offer those advance features. They will say it's for the speed access of the site for all members, but it's just a big scam. If they reach a critical point of saturation in term of traffic or bandwith usage, they can make an upgrade of there actual hosting account, get an other server configuration, even a bigger net connextion. They also have a small, limited support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   After a complete five years of deep search and following the biggest for few years, I come with the feeling that they are definately turned on the finamcial aspect, not on the service to the member. I was realy desapointed, but I knew at that point that I would create my own custom dating site, with a hole different goal in mind. I visualized a dating site where members get  what they expect, good service, an administration team who care about them and what they want and think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   So I start 18 months ago, to hire a good web programmer to get him create my vision of a grat dating site. But with not enough experience in the administration of the creation of a web site, I pick the wrong horse, so after 17 months and 1500 USD later, I had to start over the hole thing. But now I got my lesson and I adapt my strategy, with a better result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   The core of my dating site is now finish and bug free, it have the classic features,  like quick and advance search, a public photo and 4 private photos, a video upload for member's video introduction, classic live chat and instant messenger, personal inbox to receive anonymous mails, shout box, photos rating and more. Because the site have only few members and his still in upgrade more, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;the registration and unlimited use is totaly free!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;   &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Actualy, my programmer is installing a huge amount of new features, some of them have been customized to give you the best dating experience ever. So don't be suprised if you see new things on the site frequently and we just ask the members to test the new features and tell us if they meet any bug, or if they have some comments and suggestions. We will consider the most frequently suggested ideas, and any bug will be correct in no time. For the complete list of features, I will post them gradualy, for a business reason(competition), but when I will post some features, it will mean they will be soon available on the site, so I will mention when and how it will work. To complete my first post, I want you to tell me all your actual and/or past experiences with dating sites and/or social networking sites. Your experience will guide me for the completion of my dating site. If you want to take a look at the site, I will post it later here, so visit my blog frequently as I will post new articles almost daily. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thanks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30443909-115160149832185791?l=socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/feeds/115160149832185791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30443909&amp;postID=115160149832185791' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115160149832185791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30443909/posts/default/115160149832185791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://socialnetworksanddating.blogspot.com/2006/06/hi-to-all-of-you-and-welcome-to-my.html' title=''/><author><name>steph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12217060178597312760</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
