Yet another competitive threat -- from mobile devices -- is brewing. Text-messaging dating services are proliferating in places like San Francisco. Cell-phone owners using DodgeBall.com are notified when their friends come within their 10-block radius. A service from AT&T Wireless (AWE ) helps users find the closest sushi restaurant. Soon, someone might be able to come into a bar and pull up profiles of people sitting in the same bar and looking for a date, says Corante Research's Boyd. When these services become available, dating sites will be effectively competing against such wireless industry's heavyweights as Verizon Wireless, Cingular, and Sprint PCS (PCS ).
