@all

Nächste Woche kommen die Zahlen. Wie hoch werden die Gewinne sein? Was denkt ihr? Wie weit ligen sie über den sehr konservativen Prognosen?

[Heiwio]

so weit das 2€ locker genommen werden!
doch ich warte auf die 3€ und mehr, bei der laaaangg
ersehnten übernahme.

[Buitel]

Denke auch wir sehen die 2€.

[tancho]

wenn die Zahlen so gut sein sollen, warum gibt es jetzt nicht schon Käufer ? Verkäufer gibt es ja nur noch sehr enige !
Oder ist es einfach so, dass wir hier schon des öfteren unerwartete Überraschungen überlebt haben und dadurch der ein oder andere einfach die Nase voll hat?

uns natürlich alles Gute oder soll ich lieber sagen ALLES WIRD GUT

[Stoneeagle]

Haltet ihr die Übernahme noch für realistisch? Diese Gespräche müssten ja schon seit 15 Monaten laufen? Klar wären die Big Player a la USAi, Yahoo oder Viacom interessiert, aber ob das Management da mitmacht? Mittlerweile ist matchnet der letzte große weltweit tätige unabhängige profitable Dating Provider. Da sollte Matchnet wohl nicht ernsthaft daran interessiert sein zu diesen Kursen zu verkaufen, oder?

Wie ich Matchnet kenne werden die Zahlen wohl erst am Ende der nächsten Woche veröffentlicht.Ab Montag dürfte der Kurs in Richtung 2 Euro-Marke marschieren und dort bis zu den Zahlen verweilen.Und dann???

Looking for love in online places

You may not be able to buy or sell love, but you can make money selling personal ads online.

According to a new study sponsored by the Online Publishers Association, personal ads on the Internet now account for the largest share of spending for online content.

That means that people are paying more to use online matchmaking sites than they are to use any other sites on the Web. They spent more on personals than on business and investment sites, which came in second, and more than they spent on entertainment, which came in third.

The success of online dating demonstrates many of the most compelling elements of the Internet, and the business models and features that make these matchmaking sites work provide potentially great lessons for other businesses.

Since the beginning of the Net, the killer application has always been e-mail. So it should not come as a big surprise that sites that make it easy to meet other people are attracting a big audience: Online matchmaking sites are successful because what people most want to do on the Internet is communicate with each other.

Another lesson from online personal sites is the value of privacy. Match.com, the oldest and most popular such site, built its audience by assuring anonymity to its members -- even from each other. Today, nearly all personal sites follow this model.

Members hide their identities behind a special user name, and personal sites use a proprietary communication system that forwards messages to the member`s real e-mail address without informing the sender.

Participants control how much information they reveal and only offer additional data, such as their real name or phone number, if they choose to share this information through the anonymous e-mail system.

Convenience is also important. The fact that you can search for a date at any hour of the day or night is definitely a factor in this success story.

SOMETHING FOR ALL

Also impressive is the range of matchmaking websites today. You`ll find one for virtually anyone looking for a date, evidence of the value of targeting niche audiences online.

Although Match.com and Yahoo personals are the top two U.S. sites in terms of overall use, there are literally hundreds of websites dedicated to connecting people online.

Specialized personal sites range from JDate.com, for Jewish singles, to sites for Christians and followers of other religions.

GoodGenes.com is a site for Ivy League graduates that claims to accept only profiles from those who meet those universities` academic standards.

Then there`s the Fetish Network. It got its start as a bulletin board in South Florida in 1988 and has evolved into one of the largest communities for those who with a taste for the wilder side.

TYPED WORD RULES

One of the best examples of the niche possibilities offered by online matchmaking is DeafDates.com.

Dedicated to those whose hearing is impaired, DeafDates serves a community that has not always found it easy to meet each other offline.

The site also enjoys a special advantage in a world where the typed word rules.

You`ll also find such sites as emode.com, which matches people based on detailed psychological profiles.

There, you`ll find personality-assessment tests, career-assessment tests and, yes, even an IQ test.

Users decide which test results they want to make available to potential matches and can take any of the dozens of tests at hand.

Emode also enjoys a secondary revenue opportunity by charging extra should members want more detailed assessments of their own online exams.

Matchmaking sites demonstrate the value of giving away information to get people interested enough to pay for more.

On nearly every personal website nowadays, you can search the site and receive a list of profiles of eligible singles who meet your criteria without paying or even registering.

If you want to contact any of those eligible bachelors or bachelorettes, however, you have to pay.

About 20 percent of the Internet population participates in online dating sites -- and some 2.5 million people have paid to place online personal ads -- according to Jupiter Research.

And experts expect that number to more than double by 2006, according to the research firm.

Whether you`re looking for true love online or just trying to run a business there, the success of matchmaking sites provides great lessons in what does and doesn`t work on the Web today.

Hi Matchnet-Gemeinde,

seit letzter Woche gehöre ich wieder zu Euch!!!
Hoffe im Vorfeld der Zahlen (und kurz danach) geht Matchent mal wieder auf 1,90.
Solange Matchnet nicht übernommen wird, kann ich leider (auch im Zusammenhang mit Irak-Krieg) nur den Kopf schütteln über einige hier im Board.
Hier ist davon die Rede Matchnet läuft locker über 2 € und katapultiert sich nahe den 3€. ALSO BITTE, laßt mal dirr Kirche im Dorf. Ich bin mir sicher im Vorfeld läuft das Ding an die 1,90er Grenze, kurz drüber und dann wieder bergab. Vielleicht kratzt Matchnet auch mal an den 2 Euro aber dann ist wieder Schluss.
Das geht jetzt schon über ein Jahr so. Immer wieder das gleiche Spiel. Allerdings muss ich zugeben, was damals mit Udate pssiert ist, läßt in mir doch ein wenig Hoffnung aufkommen, das es Matchnet ähnlich gehen könnte, oder???
Gruss an alle REALIS da draussen
