Some OLD news from Be2

be2 Raises €15 Million (You need to watch Be2 because I had detected some fraudulent lovestories since last May 2008. And they are still fraudulent!!!)

Robert Wuttke, Be2 CEO And Founder Interview (It is really funny that Dr. Wuttke said "We like the Spanish speaking countries" and Be2 is full of fake lovestories.)

be2 Conquers Asian Dating Market (Isn't be2 basically a scam? Nothing happens on the site and they charge a fortune.)

Be2 Uses Online Push For UK launch (Be2 is a fraudulent service. Beware
This dating service is under investigation in Spain where they have many denounces in consumer associations.)

Be2, another hoax

The power of word of mouth killed Be2!

Be2 claims over 34Million members Worldwide with 20,000 new members per day, but Alexa  shows low o nearly no traffic rank in every of the 39 countries Be2 operates!

 Here a list of 39 countries

In less than 5 years, the power of word of mouth killed Be2! This should be a case of study for stupid investors' series. Other online dating companies are in the same road (be killed by power of word of mouth by email chains).

Be2 SHOULD BE A CASE OF STUDY of how internationalization had failed.
eHarmony Inc., Match and Meetic also in the same road.
The team never understood how to innovate in the online dating arena.

Recently, some "UK Dating Sites Found Body To Clean Up Industry"  They should begin to delete all INACTIVE PROFILES from online dating sites.
Some time ago,  Class Action Calls Match a 'Scam' / More than 90% of potential dates are "phantoms," suit charges then Match had morphed its marketing campaign. 

Imagine a NEW Legislation for Online Dating Sites to force them disclose how many active members they have (Premium members: paid or with gift subscriptions) ?
And also force them to conduct ID verification ?

That will improve dramatically the Online Dating Industry!

During 2008, a lawsuit against Parship in Belgium about "pratiques commerciales trompeuses" forced Parship to disclose how many paid members it had in Belgium (Parship lied about their customers; 80.000 announced, 5.004 in reality, a 6.25% conversion rate, the same to say over 93% inactive profiles!!! )
During January 2011, former CEO of Match LATAM Countries recognized 75% inactive profiles at Match Argentina.

Be2 death

More than 1 year ago, I had written about "Be2 game over"  I was right.
Be2 claims now 25.759.333 Registrered Members, but nobody uses it.
You can check Be2's several domains using Alexa and you will discover low traffic and high bounces rates.
Here the sample for France, the reader can check the other domains, some of them with no traffic at all.

The same is also valid for their casual site, C-Date.

Be2 SHOULD BE A CASE OF STUDY of how internationalization had failed.
eHarmony, Match and Meetic also in the same road.

The team never understood how to innovate in the online dating arena.
How much money did Be2 lose? Over 15 million Euros?

The team never understood how to innovate in the online dating arena.

How much money did they lost?

13 Nov 2008 ... Index Ventures has invested Euros 15 million in be2 dot com ( not be2 dot net, another company)

Be2, another hoax

Be2 claims to offer a "Scientific be2 personality test" at the USA, Ireland and UK homepage site

http://www.be2.com/

http://www.be2.co.uk/

http://www.be2.ie/

"Wissenschaftlicher be2 Persönlichkeitstest" at the German, Switzerland and Austrian homepage site

http://www.be2.de/

http://www.be2.ch/

http://www.be2.at/

"Il test scientifico della personalità" at the Italian homepage site

http://www.be2.it/
"Teste Científico de Personalidade do be2 " at the Portuguese homepage site

http://www.be2.pt/
and in other countries like Ukraine, Russia, etc.

To my best knowledge Be2 can NOT prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships 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.
Be2 is another hoax, a fraud, a fiasco.
