But... what if they found a way to keep it ANON&SAFE. I'm sure that's one of their biggest concerns because a Billion-dollar juggernaut like Comcast doesn't need lawsuits. I personally think it's as safe as the net dating sites... people share what they are willing to share about themselves and this is GEO-Targeting at its best.

If you read the article closely, they're letting people send in videos (just like America's Funniest Videos & some reality shows) and letting people make videos at speed-dating events (HurryDate is one of the biggest in that industry)... plus what if Playboy TV or one of the other adult cable / vod players steps into this market...

definitely not just a fad... a looming threat.

internet dating sites (just like any company) need to keep innovating & evolving.

what's next? Perhaps adult dating will merge with the cybersex/virtual-sex/teledildonics industry soon just to keep their members "pleased" & recurring.

Glad I own FriendFucker.com -

.

There will still be an issue of anonymity, I think, because of the nature of the service. I have seen from my own experience, that many adult dating members are in fact people cheating on their spouse/partner. We have received requests from "My wife says she caught me on here after I promised her I would stop, can you update my last login to a few months ago?" to "Thank you so much for erasing my account, I would have a huge divorce settlement if she ever found out, can I send you guys a gift to thank you ???"

Also, I think a key element in that article is the fact they are not focusing on this service itself, but using it as a means to draw more digital cable subscribers.

However, as you'll soon see with some of the stuff we'll be releasing later this year, we plan to stay on-top of the latest technology and innovations relatig to our business; as we always have. If it does become the next step, you can be sure at IwantU we will reach the right agreements to get our slice of the pie
