Great site and I immediately sent it to a bunch of friends. It's be great if the site had some embedded mechanisms to share (Tweet, Email, 'Like') it so, you know, it was easier for more people to see it.
it's a wix site - simple, online sites using flash. The guy is smart - he's using a simple tool that gets the job done, not spending his time writing a custom CMS.
That's a skill that I need to get better at: pick the tool that gets the job done _and_ takes the least amount of time. Then go do other things.
He should add a deal so that whoever introduces the person who introduces him to his wife to the hookchasup site gets a small reward as well.

About.me for dating + reward = profit. In all seriousness, I could see this becoming a model that, if done right, could be quite profitable for people looking for something to start.
That's a sweet idea, but there's a tipping point where the value of being the Nth+1 person on the service doesn't increase your chances of being noticed.
Now, make it a consulting service where people pay you $1000 $5,000 for website / online-marketing / PR services to help land a date? Add in scarcity? That's a cool idea.
