It looks like last month was the month for magazines to do articles (see National Geographic Singles Article) related to dating. Scientific American has an article out called The Truth about Online Dating[*1] . It looks at number of issues:
The article also looks at other side businesses that have resulted from the popularity of online dating sites.
Here is one interesting quote I found in The Truth about Online Dating, "In 2001 online dating was a $40-million business; by 2008 that figure is expected to break $600 million, with more than 800 businesses". This statistic shows that more singles are moving to the internet to find love, which in turn has created more dating sites vying for your dollar. This is why I hope people use this site to inform themselves on dating services before spending any money.
