Yahoo! Personals Updates its Service

It looks like Yahoo! is planning some major updates in the future for their dating service. The first off the block deals with photo's. Members now can add up to 10 photo's in the new interface along with the ability to add in captions. The idea here is singles can now show off more of their life and what they like to do. In my opinion the major part of this update is the ability to search the photo captions. This is an excellent source of information. If some single is looking for other singles who enjoy biking (as example) and they have a photo of them doing this, the person executing the search knows he or she is serious about biking. Most dating profiles don't let you gauge the seriousness of your interests and you never know if it's just a passing interest or a full blown passion.

This update to Yahoo! Personals has been needed for a while. Most dating sites have been allowing 10 or more photo's with captions for a long time. These dating sites even have extra features like private photo galleries and simple photo editing features like removing red eye. A point for Yahoo though, they are the first that I know of which allows searching of photo captions.

I wonder what they have in store for their members next on Yahoo! Personals?
