My bet: Only a short term success. Social dating is vaporware. Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient.  It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.  The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

Recent MTCH group IPO Raises Questions About Privacy / IAC

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-alexander/recent-online-dating-comp_b_9307742.html

(IAC) (MTCH) Privacy Issues Could Kill Match Group (via OPW)
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/01/iac-mtch-privacy-issues-could-kill.html

The Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, FriendScout24, OurTime, HowAboutWe, PlentyOfFish and many more are past their primes, reached operating ceiling and they are in decadence.

Moreover, Tinder will not monetize as expected and it is cannibalizing Match.
Tinder can collapse like Skout (problems with minors using it).
Also Tinder is in war with other online dating application: Bumble backed by Badoo.

The 8 tips to innovate in the Online Dating Industry!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/the-8-tips-to-innovate-in-online-dating.html

The only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals (needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between prospective mates.)
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
It is all about achieving the eighth decimal!
With 8 decimals, you have more precision than any person could achieve by searching on one's own, but the only way to achieve the eighth decimal is using analysis and correlation with quantized patterns.
Without offering the NORMATIVE16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo !

Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient.  It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.  
The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
but no one is scientifically proven!  No actual online dating site  is "scientifically proven" because no one can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships -and very low divorce rates- than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal preferences, searching on one's own, or other technique as the control group in a peer reviewed Scientific Paper for the majority (over 90%) of its members.
but no one can show you a list of compatible persons like this:
( for a prospective male customer / sample but calculated with real values)
“Over 1,000,000 million women database, here is the list of the 12 more compatible with you. Notice that woman#1 is the most compatible with you but she could be more compatible with other men right now.
woman#01 is 95.58476277% compatible

Nanaya, another HOAX, FRAUD part 1 of 2

I agree that the Online Dating Industry is selling elixirs, tonics, snake oil liniments and other patent medicine and performing like the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industry before the USA Food and Drug Administration was created where any player can make any claim without any credentials.

Who independently validated and independently certified the "personality test" used at Nanaya?
It is home grown! It is not peer reviewed or published in any Scientific Paper. 
Please remember normative tests can not be simply translated, because you need the norm for those tests, and that norm is actualized each and every time Census Figures are released.

Photos from the 43rd International Internet Dating Conference

http://www.idate2016.com/eventphotos-miami-2016.php
It took place on January 25 - 27, 2016 in Miami. The 13th Annual iDate2016 in Miami was the largest collection of dating industry executives and professionals at one time each year. It was the most successful event for the industry. Hundreds of online dating industry professionals, matchmakers, mobile developers, software providers, marketing / advertising firms, venture capitalists, affiliate managers, payment processors, background search companies and affiliates were in attendance.

Same as From iDate2004 to iDate2013 / FINAL CONCLUSIONS

Year over year regurgitating the same statistics, talking the same rubbish. 
Year over year the same scratched disk,
They DO NOT want to INNOVATE!


Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
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.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/01/tinder-eharmony-and-zoosk-win-idate2016.html
eHarmony, is a 15+++ years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget. The Big Five normative test had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
The Big Five normative test had been replaced by HEXACO or Big Six test.
 
I had reviewed over 55 compatibility matching engines intended for serious dating since 2003, when I had discovered "the online dating sound barrier" problem.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

The Online Dating Industry needs a very powerful algorithm like the "Teller Ulam design". In this case 100 times more powerful than actual matching algorithms.

With less than USD10 Million you can copycat eHarmony 
or
 innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry, killing those old & obsolete sites forever. 

PAPER "There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea:

PAPER "There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea: The Effects of Choice Overload and Reversibility on Online Daters' Satisfaction With Selected Partners"

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15213269.2015.1121827

Abstract
Online dating is often lauded for improving the dating experience by giving singles large pools of potential partners from whom to choose. This experiment investigates how the number of choices online daters are given, and whether these choices are reversible, affects romantic outcomes. Drawing on the choice overload and decision reversibility theoretical frameworks, we show that, a week after making their selection, online daters who chose from a large set of potential partners (i.e., 24) were less satisfied with their choice than those who selected from a small set (i.e., 6), and were more likely to change their selection. While choice reversibility did not affect daters’ satisfaction, those who selected from a large pool and had the ability to reverse their choice were the least satisfied with their selected partner after one week. The results advance understanding of how media features related to choice affect interpersonal evaluations.
