Fake Trend Watch - Group Dating Sites
USA Today (McPaper) spots a trend - Group dating - but doesn't do their homework to show that the niche is a bust. With group dating, users can sign up in groups of two or more and correspond with other duos, trios or quartets. The goal is to take male/female cyber-squads offline.
McPaper writes "The group method is emerging as traditional online dating shows signs of plateauing." About TeamDating , McPaper writes: "Since launching last August, the site (free for now) has grown to just over 5,000 members on about 2,000 teams. Sounds terrific, but when we typed in our San Francisco zip code, the closest dating team we could find was 500 miles away in Los Angeles.
Traffic Numbers Are Too Low For Alexa To Track the Leaders In This Niche
