Today in the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
MarketRange Inc., which runs the PerfectMatch.com online dating service and TalentMatch.com entertainment service, has raised more than $7 million in funding from Ignition Partners and Mellon Ventures. The money will be used to attract new members to PerfectMatch.com, a dating service whose membership is 65 percent female. That compares with about 35 percent for other online dating services, the company said. To build membership, it plans online, radio and television advertising. It currently has about 1 million members who use a personality test to meet potential partners. MarketRange was founded by Duane Dahl, who ran Kiss.com and uDate.com.
Back on August 4, 2004 I wrote Dancing Duet With Online Dating which includes an Alexa comparison between Match.com, Tickle.com, eHarmony.com, True.com, and PerfectMatch.com.
