Spark Networks, Other Dating Sites To Be Buried By MySpace?

As a dating industry blogger who built his first website in 1994, I feel I can comment on this with some level of authority. First, PlentyOfFish is not a web 2.0 company and Yahoo is not necessarily 1.0. Why do people keep using these useless terms? Markus knows how to make money advertising, but not much about relationships and matchmaking. This is fairly standard in the dating indsutry. The situation at Spark has always been interesting to watch, the back-stories about the founders, stock options and it's network of sites, of which 2-4 make up the lion's share of revenue and traffic are all common fodder for beer-fueled conversations, although cherry-picking at a bar is pretty unsavory.
