With the boom in the number of broadband connections, a whole new arena of opportunities for innovating entrepreneurs has opened up - online business ventures. One such profitable online business opportunity is the online dating services business. Online dating is a service which creates a window for people to meet compatible singles via the Web. Typically, online dating services let a person take their search for finding a good partner or friend, online via the Internet. There are numerous dating services which promise to aid a person in their quest to find the right partner for themselves.

Apart from dating sites, there are also sites which review various dating sites and rank them based on various factors. One such site which reviews dating sites and ranks them in various categories is 5stardating.com. This site provides a list of top dating sites in various categories. It also publishes a very popular ezine called the dating digest. If you want to keep yourself abreast of the happenings in the online dating services industry, it is highly recommended that you go through the resources provided in this digest. I particularly like a couple of articles in the digest - the one on “upscale social networking services” and the one on “influences of time on dating“.
