Wow! This is a cool idea! Some of the art could use some changes, but the core idea looks like fun! Perhaps you could also add something along the lines of principle components analysis so that you don't only use random groups from your area - you want to have a netflix kind of thing going on mixed with some truly random ones. Good luck guys!

So we match people based on demographics (age, ethnicity, children?, etc.). We also match based on the Media you include in your First Impression. After you have been through a MingleWeek, we have data about who you rated highly and so we can compose groups based on common affinity.

Ah I suspected you guys were using a more complex algorithm than advertised on the site ^_^. Good luck!

nicely done! good to see an original take on online dating.

i wouldn't worry about the background. for every person you find that doesn't like it, you'll find someone who will. people are visiting the site for a reason. they probably won't even notice the background.

I haven't created an account to try it out but I have spent some time browsing your main page, features page, and sign-up form. Your information is presented cleanly and looks good. I wasn't sure about the background at first but after a few minutes looking at the site I've decided I like it. Heres what I really love: "We want you to have a date next weekend" and "Start on Monday, have a date by Saturday". That's a v…

I like "Start on Monday, Have a Date By Sunday" better. It sounds more pleasing to the tongue (since it rhymes). The phrase they use now is semantically nice, but not as stylistically pleasing.
