Reciprocal Dating Gives Superhero Powers to Online Singles

Reciprodate has developed groundbreaking technology that could revolutionize the online dating industry. "Reciprocal Collaborative Filtering" can show people who is interested in them, giving singles an almost unfair edge in the realm of online dating.

Santa Monica, CA - June 16, 2003 - Envision walking around wearing a pair of magical glasses that lets you see which people find you attractive. Using a patent-pending technology dubbed "reciprocal collaborative filtering," Reciprodate shows its members not only which people they are likely to be interested in, but also who is most interested in them.

"The concept of collaborative filtering has been around for quite some time," says Robert Ho, founder of the newly launched online dating service. "For instance, it is the governing process that enables successful online companies like Netflix and Amazon.com to recommend items such as movies or books to customers. This concept has surprisingly never been applied to the realm of online dating. Since people are the only ratable items capable of rating back, the benefits of this type of reciprocal matchmaking system are doubled."

By rating profiles based on level of personal interest, members close in on their ideal match through an entertaining, interactive experience. After merely a dozen ratings, the system can generate a list of people that the member is very likely to have an interest in. As a member continues to rate more profiles, the prediction accuracy increases dramatically. The benefit of the system becomes increasingly evident when a member requests a reciprocal list of the people most interested in them.

"Imagine that someone you are interested in has a friend who whispers in your ear that your feelings of attraction are mutual," describes Ho. "Your confidence levels would absolutely skyrocket, and dating is all about confidence. Reciprodate can be that friend."

Reciprodate currently offers this unique matchmaking service free of charge to all men and women seeking friendship or love.
