It’s been around ten years since the first dating websites hit the web. Back then it was almost a ‘weird’ thing to do, and people that used them were alienated. Ten years on we’re seeing online dating becoming a natural way to find a partner. With people all over the globe utilizing dating sites as a way to meet new people, just to ‘hook’ up, or maybe for love, we’re seeing dating sites cropping up from everywhere. Paid ones, free ones, ethnical based ones and lots more wonderful places to meet someone like minded.

Match.com is one of the most popular dating sites on the web, with over 4 million members to date. It has recently announced that the one billionth email has been sent between members, which is an amazing statistic and says a lot about how much our dating culture has changed thanks to the internet. With lots of success stories about long time who have met on the net, Match.com in itself is a huge success story.

Jason Stockwood MD of Match.com and the rest of the team are committed to building upon this success, and are doing so by listening to their current users and their past users. They are called the ‘Match100′ and they’re providing feedback and tips on the Match.com dating website, and have a mission to make Match.com even better than it already is. Who better to make online dating better, than the people that are doing it, and that have already been there and found love through it? Jason Stockwood commented on the ‘Match100′ - “their opinions and experiences will make a huge impact on our business”.

So will any other dating site out there be able to ‘match’ the innovation and success of Match.com, or will we be seeing a 2 billionth email landmark for Match.com and the team as a goal not impossible for the very very near future?
