Cnet buys Consumating, yes Match should be worried
Last year in July I wrote an article titled Match.com Vs. Consumating.com that talked about a small austin based startup and how its approach to online dating was much more of an emergent, bottom up, blog like system. Standing of course in stark contrast to Match.com which controls user generated content with an iron fist. Well Cnet has bought consumating.com and I for one couldn’t be happier. I’m not claiming to be an indie guy that rocks, and I don’t where glasses, but it’s a dating service much more aligned with my personality.
Cnet Buys Consumating: Hot nerdy girls and indie rock boys! With glasses!

There is much more profitable niche: dating sites for people living with STDs. stdFriends.com, the 2nd largest site from this niche (42K members) is currently for sale.
