Only MingleNow goes further. It wants to give people hanging out at bars and restaurants ways to interact with each other online too. If you frequent a bar, for example, you can put your profile up on the bar's page within MingleNow, share stories about the bar, and see the profiles of others who frequent that bar - getting a glimpse of the personal details of someone you might have flirted with

MingleNow also allows you to earn VIP points. You get points by inviting others to join MingleNow, and you can redeem the points offline, with free drinks at bars, for example. Bar owners see it as a way of reaching out to new potential customers, and letting them know about promotions.

Hi guys! I just wanted to clear up a few things. I am not saying that I am determined to sleep with a guy by midnight on my 30th. Not at all! But I'd be lying if I said there isn't a little bit of a fairy tale hope here--that I'll meet a great guy in a most unexpected way. And I get that most of these guys won't be the one or even the one for right now but BUT what if, a really sweet guy who I would never meet randomly in a bar is told by a friend that we might be a match and he, in turn, does something he would never do and submits himself to go on a date with a stranger--possibly across the country--just on the chance it might be worthwhile. It's a fun story if nothing else and that right there is worth all the 'what ifs,' 'probably nots,' and 'are you crazys.' So, keep the comments coming and ask questions; they're fun to read!

Maybe I'm just too good at being single. Maybe I'm just not ready for a relationship. Who knows, maybe I grew up watching too many soaps. These are things I ask myself when I wonder why, after all my relationships, hot dates and hookups, I’m still so single.

I left New York three months ago to escape a future-less relationship with a guy who couldn't commit (I know, shocker). I am still madly in love with him, some might even say addicted to him, yet forbidden to even say his name to friends and family who know it will only cause more heartache.

Until this guy, I had never really had my heart broken. I'd always been the one to walk away (which isn’t necessarily easier): Two years ago, I called off an engagement to The Perfect Man. Something just wasn't right. I was having panic attacks while registering for cappuccino makers and matching bathrobes.

Looking for a way to get over her ex-boyfriend (the man she thought she was going to marry -- ouch) and seeking perhaps a wee outlet through which to vent her frustrations, the struggling Seattle writer began pouring her heart out -- pouring it out and then directly into a weblog.

That was back in 2002, and ever since then Agiewich not only has blogged her way through the ups and downs of that particularly pugnacious parting of ways, she also has blogged her way through a variety of dates and the breakups that followed and, more importantly, blogged her way right into a novel. (Yes, a novel. Take that, you unappreciative ex-boyfriend!)

Myspace has asked that we fold up shop. (I only emailed them 4 times asking them what I should do.) The Cease and Desist letter is below. DatingAnyone.com started back in April 2006 as a cool idea and a challenging development project. I have no doubt that it provided a real service to its users and it's unfortunate that there is no avenue for outside improvement of Myspace.

Last night I was browsing the news and I read another story about harm done to a minor facilitated through contact on Myspace. If there is any area that needs to be addressed, it certainly is this one. Myspace has enjoyed exciting growth in the past year, adding millions of new users. Unfortunately adequate safeguards to verify the age and identity of those using Myspace have yet to be implemented. The only aspect of DatingAnyone.com which ever gave me pause were questions as to the accuracy of Myspace profile ages. I hope Myspace chooses to rise to the challenge of keeping their online community safe for all users, rather than passing the buck and hiding behind a buyer beware legal stance.

Nestled among the media's meditations on the popularity of blogs is a theory that lends new meaning to "cyber sex." According to Simon Dumenco, a prominent U.S. media analyst, people read blogs at least in part because they "want to get laid."

In this week's Media Guy column for Advertising Age magazine, Dumenco contends that knowledge of the hippest, hottest blogs can increase hook-up opportunities and boost sexual attractiveness. He maintains some people are using niche blogs such as Gawker.com and Defamer.com to gain pop cultural insights that make them more socially desirable and ultimately more likely to get lucky.

"You're starting to hear conversation openers that have clearly been lifted from that day's blog,'' he says. "It's kind of like going into a bar and having someone ask you what your sign is the cue is just taken from somewhere else.''

Thompson agrees that, in certain circumstances, people seem more attractive if they're up on the latest news. But he says getting that news exclusively from blogs, which are largely cribbing from other media sources, cheapens the effect.

"On some level, that kind of approach to life makes you less interesting,'' observes Thompson. "Ultimately, reading more blogs won't help you any more than reading Lord of the Rings for the 50th time.''

"The fact is that online dating is a mature market," says Mr. Belcher. "Sites now specialize in matching people of specific races, religions, interests and professions, and there are multiple sites competing in each of these niches. Some sites now facilitate webcam-based dates, video-blogging, and other technological marvels."

In addition to competition within the category, a new potential competitive threat is arising: social networking sites. MySpace and Friendster offer online dating as one of the ways people may connect and communicate -- and they're free. Traffic on these sites has grown far more quickly in the past year than for online dating sites as a whole.

As your letter points out, the virtues of life on the Web are also its deficits. People can easily meet and develop relationships, but the problem with developing relationships with strangers is that strangers have no reason to respect your privacy - especially if you don't. Your story is yet another reason why life online has become not only messy but also boring. People who live a virtual life don't have actual experiences. Their blogs tend to reflect that.

I can't understand why people are so hungry to share their every waking thought with the rest of the world - and I certainly don't understand why people are interested in reading these musings, personal details and outright lies.

Since the beginning of the year, traffic on image-hosting sites overall has shot up 406 percent to more than 14.7 million unique users, Nielsen/NetRatings said. The number of people using the sites represents 10 percent of the total U.S. Internet population.

The top referring sites for the top 5 photo-hosting sites were blog-hosting service providers MySpace.com, Xanga.com, LiveJournal, Blogger and Microsoft's MSN Spaces, the research firm said.

Girls between the ages of 12 and 17 were the biggest users of photo sites, accounting for 15 percent of the total number of users, Nielsen reported. Teenage girls were two-and-a-half times more likely to visit an image-hosting site than the average user.

"It's not that incredibly surprising," Gibs said of the use of photo sites by teenagers, who have been quick adopters of the "fun element of blogging."

To some extent, teens are copying celebrity-magazine photos that are surrounded by text giving a description of what's shown, Gibs said. Many teens post pictures of places they've been, as well as of themselves and friends.

This new social scene is getting out of control. Instead of meeting people normally we cruise the online profiles -- Friendster, MySpace, Xanga and Facebook-- for random people. These sites are supposed to keep friends connected, but I see people with about 100 plus "friends." Do they actually know these people? I can't count 100 people I know in the real world, much less people whose profiles I can access.

One thing I've noticed about the blogs and personal profiles people post online is how open people are, which I'm semi-guilty of myself. I find myself stumbling on to total stranger's site, and the next thing I know, I'm exploring his most intimate thoughts. It feels kind of stalkerish, like the public domain has gotten just a little too public -- even for the web. Sure, hooray for public expression, but there are some things which no one should know. Seriously.

But for many younger than 30, a blog is as much an ace in the dating game as a flashy car or a nice smile. Not everybody is looking to influence society.

Norris, a self-described geek with a slight frame and, until recently, no car, says he has had better luck with women in the past year. The reason? His discovery of MySpace, a blogging conduit that allows anyone to register, create a personal profile with pictures, and be linked to people anywhere in the world.

Norris says he has more than 300 "friends" on his MySpace account, and he has communicated with each of them.

"Over the past year, I've met so many people I'd never have met otherwise," he says. "My social skills are so much stronger now, and it began with the sort of training that blogging provided."

Some also speculate that more scandalous blog entries -- especially those about partying and dating exploits -- will have ramifications down the road.

"I would bet that in the 2016 election, somebody's Facebook entry will come back to bite them," Steve Jones, head of the communications department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, says, referring to thefacebook.com, a networking site for college students and alumni that is something of a cross between a yearbook and a blog.

More traditional blog sites -- which allow easy creation of a Web site with text, photos and often music -- include Xanga, LiveJournal and MySpace. And they've gotten more popular in recent years, especially among the younger set.

Caitlin Hoistion, a 15-year-old in Neptune, N.J., says she knows people who go as far as posting their cell phone numbers on their blogs -- something she doesn't do. She also often shows her postings to her mom, which has helped her mom give her some space and privacy online.

"That's not to say if I thought something dangerous was going on, I wouldn't ever spy on her," says her mother, Melissa Hoistion. "But she has given me no need to do so."
