Dating sites win back members

Several months ago there were many online articles and blog posts about how free social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace were eroding the membership bases of the big matchmaking sites, thereby reducing their revenue.

But it seems that was just a temporary trend. There has been a 31% boost in dating site membership due to people returning from the social networking sites.

Perhaps Facebookers became sick of so many members using it as a dating site, and the lovelorn just gave up and went back to sites where their advances were more welcome.
