Coffee Meets Bagel Is Online Dating Meets Groupon

I came across an interesting article while surfing PSFK. Kyana Gordon discusses a new venture, known as eDealdujour literally translating to e-deal of the day : by Lawrence and Krystal Leurquin Ouaki. This concept, not unlike sites such as Groupon and Living Social, is quite simple: each day, a single man is highlighted and appears on the front page of the website. In eDealdujour, a single man submits a photo, a biography, and states the type of partner he is interested in. Their profile stays on the front page for 24 hours, with a timer on the site, like Groupon, that lets viewers know when the offer expires. Currently, the site is accessible and usable by anyone, free of cost, but those who desire to may pay a fee to have their profiles archived. I feel that the power in such dating sites derives from the ability to chat in real-time, and from being able to talk to many people at once. How will eDealdujour be able to sustain this concept if the user base grows? Will they charge people for putting them on the front page? How will they accommodate everyone?

How Dating’s Personalized, Localized Future is Good for Groupon

For the past year I've been doing a new Groupon deal every week. It wasn't meant to be like this. I was meant to do just a few initially, but it snowballed, and here I am: addicted. In two hours' time I'm having a colonic. I've already had one, back in January, but my brother's bought me another for a laugh and I'm too polite to say no.
