iDate Update – The Internet Dating Conference

iDate Awards

Once again I had the pleasure of attending the Internet Dating Conference which was held in Miami Beach last week.

The highlight this year was the first-annual iDate Awards where both industry leaders and the public had the opportunity to vote on their favorite online dating sites.

At the black-tie event, the industry winners were announced which included:

• Best Dating Site - Match.com
• Best Up and Coming Site - Zoosk.com
• Most Innovative Company - OkCupid
• Best Marketing Campaign - eHarmony.com
• Best Dating Site Design - Match.com
• Best Mobile Dating Site - Zoosk.com
• Best Matchmaker – Julie Ferman, CupidsCoach.com
• Best New Technology - Iovation.com
• Best Payment System - Paypal.com
• Best Affiliate Program - Friendfinder.com
• Best Dating Software Provider - WhiteLabelDating.com

The next iDate conference will be held on June 17-18, 2010 in Miami Beach. I’m secretly hoping that CyberDatingExpert.com gets nominated for an honorable mention.
