WASHINGTON POST -- June 1 -- eHarmony operates on the theory that partners need to share certain key characteristics to better their chances of a successful long-term relationship. We caught up with Gonzaga to talk about that theory and what he has learned about love during his tenure at eHarmony. Q: What are the core qualities partners should share if they want their love to last? A: The big ones are personality traits. Things like how agreeable you are, how open you are to experience.

OPW -- May 4 -- Heads up! Rumors have come in from multiple sources that Userplane is folding. Its too small for AOL to consider selling, and apparently not worthwhile them continuing to run. Its a shame really. Companies like Toksta and Ekko.tv stand to benefit from the void Userplane will leave. Markus Frind says that IM was his biggest mistake. He"s getting far more pageviews now he"s pulled it. But paid sites are less interested in page views, so perhaps its still worthwhile paid sites using IM. There are a number of IM alternatives we"re reviewing. We"ll be presenting our findings at the upcoming Internet Dating Conference, and on the Courtland Brooks blog. (Full Disclosure: Plentyoffish.com is a current, long term client of Courtland Brooks. Userplane is a former client of Courtland Brooks) See all posts on Userplane See all posts on Plentyoffish This post also appears on SocialNetworkingWatch.
