The game of love

I’ve done several interviews over December and into January and have not had time to mention them here. I was on RSG about a week ago discussing online dating, speed dating and sms dating. The pro’s and con’s of all these and took some calls from the Afrikaans listeners. The presenter asked for my details and I gave it out over the air and took a number of phone calls from people in all sorts of small towns around South Africa. In most cases I recommended they try Lovemail which is run by Junkmail. This is a SMS/Web hybrid dating service. And its only R1.50 per message which you buy in bundles. Its more sophisticated then most SMS dating services and also Junkmail is an established brand which is not going to disappear any time soon.

What’s been really funny for me to see is how clueless most people still are about using cellphones or the Internet to engage with people. We still have a steep learning curve in South Africa to get to a stage where we will take these phenomenon for granted.

On another note you can read an excellent article where I was interviewed in on Moneyweb here.
