Help Your Friends Find Love

TechCrunch, written by Michael Arrington, profiles the companies, products and events that are defining and transforming the new web. It's a really interesting blog to follow if you want to keep up with all the new names and faces. For example, there's an interesting post pointing us to a creative aggregation of the names and logos of Web 2.0 companies on a flashy new Go2Web2.0 website.

Thinking of great names for companies in the Web 2.0 social networking space brings to mind Tickle, which was gobbled up by Monster soon after it was renamed, and now Tickle is part of the Monster family.
Isn't it crazy? How is it that in this age of cell phones, email, and online dating sites, there are still so many great people who can't find love? What is going on here?

We tried to make a difference. We started Tickle Matchmaking in 2002. It was like most other dating sites, plus it offered fun, PhD-certified personality tests. It kind of worked. But it wasn't changing the world. What we realized is that dating sites are lonely places where you go in alone and try and meet strangers. No wonder our single friends weren't finding love.

So we got together with our friends-single and married-and set out to create a place we believe will change the world. In June 2005 we started LoveHappens, a living, growing community where everyone helps everyone find love. It's not a dating site. It's a community and a whole new way to meet and introduce people. We're all building the network because we all believe we can create a lot more love in this world than there is today.
Love Happens.
