Yahoo! Joins the Online Dating Game
One thing nice about the Yahoo! website is that it continuously grows and diversifies. Take its latest venture for instance, the Yahoo! Personals, which is their version of the online dating websites.
The first thing that will greet you upon visiting Yahoo! Personals is a presentation of its code of conduct, composed of six simple principles: I am single; I will be honest and respectful of other members; I will do my best to present the true me in both picture and words; I will not be abusive or post offensive material; I will abide by the Yahoo! Personals Guidelines; I can help by identifying people who break these promises and guidelines. This is something pleasantly new, as prospective members are asked to abide by these principles, giving the site the aura of maturity and responsibility. This particular feature is absent in most online dating services which often simply go directly to the business of attracting visitors to become members and finding a match for them.
Yahoo! Personals has a lot of cool features, one of which involves the dating service itself, in which it has two distinct services: the Yahoo! Personals for those seeking only casual dates; and the Yahoo! Personals Premiere which is reserved for people who want to enter into more serious relationships.
Yahoo! Personals also has a personality test which is given free to everyone, visitors and members alike. The test is interactive and involves a set of questions that examine how you see yourself and how you would react in a given set of everyday circumstances and takes about only ten minutes to finish. It was developed by specialists in the field of love and relationships and designed to lead to quicker and better matching between members looking either for a casual date or a serious partner.
Still another interesting feature of Yahoo! Personals is the section on dating and relationships which basically covers practically all areas that have to do with finding that special someone online. These include dating tips and advices, tips on creating an eye-catching profile, how to look on a first date, how to create the best photo online, articles on dating and relationships as published in the site’s magazine partner, Tango, polls and surveys on the latest dating manners, and so much more.
Yahoo! Personals is a relatively new venture for Yahoo! so it still has to be made available in several countries but are now actually in the launching plans. Still, Yahoo! has already packed in a competitive dating online service with a lot of great features that are uniquely Yahoo! It will not come as a surprise if this service soon turns out to become one of the more popular online dating websites. Give it a visit and find out why this may be so.
