"Good" Q1 2013 for IAC Personals, will wait and see Q2

"Match (IAC Personals)
Core, Meetic and Developing revenue increased to USD113.8 million, USD55.0 million and USD20.1 million, respectively, driven by increases in subscribers.
Profits increased due to higher revenue, lower customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue and operating expense leverage. Revenue and profits in the prior year period were negatively impacted by the write-off of USD5.2 million of deferred revenue in connection with the Meetic acquisition. "


The IAC's International Operations are really coins. IAC's Personals revenue in Latin America is really coins! (in the range of USD29 million, less than PlentyOfFish)

 NO INNOVATIONS SINCE YEARS IN THE ONLINE DATING INDUSTRY.
C level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry. Wasting precious time with Matchmakers which should be obsolete. 
Actual matching algorithms used by eHarmony, Chemistry, PlentyOfFish and others, even behavioural recommender systems, can not be improved, they need to be discarded NOW.
