Number One Provider of Niche Dating Sites Ignites Members' Possibilities With New Site
BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2009) - Spark®.com, a new site for
highly-qualified singles sincerely looking for love, laughter and romance,
launches today, announced Spark
Networks (NYSE Amex: LOV), the number one provider of niche online singles communities.
Embodying a contemporary look and feel, Spark.com unites millions of members from
the trusted AmericanSingles®.com and
Date.ca® communities into one clean
and easy-to-navigate site with global appeal; a better dating experience
and greater value than other subscription dating sites. Both existing and new
members will reap the benefits of the new site features and functionality,
allowing for an easier and more enjoyable time spent finding a significant
other.
"We're thrilled to introduce Spark.com," said Adam Berger, Chief Executive
Officer of Spark Networks. "We've implemented some great new and proven
features for the serious dater interested in an exciting yet secure
experience. This is a site for singles
who still want to have fun but are starting to get a little more serious
about finding that special someone, and don't want to pay the high monthly
subscription fees other well known sites charge."
One exciting new Spark.com feature is the free Color Code Personality Test, a
compatibility exercise required of all new members to help them learn more
about themselves by providing insight into strengthening and building
existing relationships and learning how to get new relationships off to a
better start. Other features include a profile photo prerequisite for all
new members to encourage authenticity and visual representation; the
ability for all members (including non-subscribers) to access email
messages to promote communication; and more photo upload space, allowing
members to better express themselves with up to 12 photos and captions on
their profiles.
Spark.com members will also gain access to new search features such as
Keyword Search, enabling them to search by any word or phrase mentioned in
all profiles so they can find matches based on hobbies, interests,
occupations and more. Another search feature available on Spark.com is "Who's Searching for You?," a search option
members can use to find matches based on what other members are looking for
-- and who is searching for them.
"We believe Spark.com fills a void in the marketplace for singles that
value quality, honesty and maturity," says Berger. "The goal is not only to
match people according to their interests and preferences, but also to
foster meaningful and lasting relationships."
