Sounds like Chemistry.com just killed Eharmony’s momentum after they ran those attack ads in April/May.  One negative story after the next in the press.

  1. Time Magazine: Eharmony Worst Dating Site » Online Dating Insider Says:

    [...] Markus gets it right, the Chemistry.com “Rejected” anti-eHarmony campaign initiated the investigation into eHarmony’s exclusionary practices (if reporters copying what other reporters say without understanding the entire issue is an investigation). Once the media caught wind of the situation and the pile-on began, it was clear that eHarmony lost the battle to Chemistry, but what of the war, because like it or not, that is what the skirmish between the two has become.

    “Lost the battle”? For pity’s sake. Did anyone actually read the Time article? It is sour grapes from the writer, pure and simple.

    There is no “battle” between Chemistry.com & eHarmony, unless you call a tiny operation against a giant in the biz a “battle”.

    What next – a “battle” between JoeBlowSingles.com and, say, Yahoo Personals?;-)

    Hey Markus,

    What do you think of the news that Jajah and eHarm will partner to offer “click to call” on member profiles?

    E-harmony requires income information. Perhaps that is the problem. They want to make sure they have high-income folks.
    And the multipage questionnaire is a joke.
    And then there is the fact that they do not honor being removed from their spam list.
