Blogger Speed Dating

written by John Chow on December 20, 2007

Make Money!

I have never tried speed dating. By the time it was invented I was already married. Those who have tried speed dating told me it was a lot of fun. Now the next generation of speed dating is upon us. Meebo and SpeedDate.com have teamed up to bring you video speed dating.

What better way to kick off the program than by showing a bunch of well know bloggers doing a video speed date. My only complaint is the video is too short. I would have love to see the full five or 10 minute date. I’m sure some enterprising web people will figure out a way to make money from this. Maybe a paid speed dating matchmaking service?

Speed dating is useless.

Not really, its pretty useful in some sense.

you make so much money! *envies* nevertheless, way to go man! (:

marry christmas and a happy new year form argentina for all readers of john chow's blog.

best regards

You have a wrong link for meebo.com. About the video speed dating, they find the way to get people more addicted to their websites...I can smell money :grin:

John, speed dating has been around a long time!

The only problem with speed dating by video (for me) is that I am MUCH better looking in person! I really don't photograph very well. I can only imagine what a VIDEO would be like!

How to you translate enthusiasm (and the rush of chemicals, if you're interested) to the other party if you can't even get close!

Supposedly, it's pheremones (sp?) which help us get together - initially. After that, a chemical cocktail called PEA in the brain keeps that 'in love' feeling from between 18 months and 3 years - long enough to procreate, eh?

Biology wins most of the time. I'll stick to the more common ways - I'd take a class! You already start off on common ground with other people and study sessions can be more interesting that way!

Heck, I'm already in a long term relationship, I'd only be looking for friends at this point. It's all good!

p.s. thanks for hosting my Entrecard ad John!

The guys looked like on the first date :)) .
"I'm a terminal guy ...." :))- common man , is the first time you see a girl or what :))

Thanks for showing, basically i think speed dating is for people who are busy and don't have the time to date. Speed dating could be the future dating and the video shows that all of them took part in it have a lot of fun and maybe it could help some people to get a real date.

um, i believe in inperson dating. theres nothing like being in front of someone.

Hey,
This thing seems pretty cool, thats probably cuz i'm still single!
Anyways if you can get about a 1000 referrals for Agloco, then there are a lot of paid to click websites which could actually pay you big cash for such big referrals!
You can click here to visit my blog to see how it works! :wink:

you do make a lot of money, don't you? *envies* way to go! :)

Is Grace Cheng speed dating? She's a cutie!

I'm sure she would if she wasn't married. :mrgreen:

might be since she travels everywhere.

Wow, talk about the future of dating haha

Hmm, take the concept of speed dating, which already creates an awkward environment for 2 people looking for love, then videotape some samples and post it on the web for all to see and laugh at.

Works for me. :mrgreen:

all I have to say is WTF

Off topic here but I have been wanting to know for some time what wordpress plugin is being used for the emoticons in the comments field here? Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance.

You need the WP grins one

I've never really liked the idea of speed dating, and I don't know anybody who developed a healthy relationship with somebody they met speed dating. Video speed dating just removes another layer of interaction.

that is why it's called dating i guess since it's the first process of knowing the person better.. after couple of shots! :mrgreen:

if things went fine the following day.. a next close encounter follows! :twisted:

That is a pretty fresh idea though.

Umm a friend met his wife and mom of her daughter online, well not actually on speeddating.com :P

I'd speed date iJustine. :cool:

Yes, but would you meebo her on the first date?

Oh my god lol!! That vid was awsome looll!

Well...Irina sure has a speed date last name :shock:
