The next big thing: iPod dating? = PodDater

Tried other friend or dating sites only to be disappointed? You know the drill. You go on the site, you see a HOT picture, you talk and then.... You meet in person. Turns out that "HOT picture" was a glamor shots photo from 6 years ago and besides it was just a head shot anyways. Yeah, it's happened to us. That's why we created PodDater.

PodDater is a new way to find a friend or a date. You make a video profile, add it to your profile, share it with others and you download video profiles to your iPod.

A good video profile can be a little more... revealing. With video there's movement, there's sound and just more going on. And it's EASY to create a video profile. You can make a video with some types of cellphones, a digital camera in "movie mode" or a mini-DV camera. We have some good resources on how to get that going.

Your free membership also allows you to vote on videos, comment on videos, tag your profile with keywords and syndicate your search preferences.

Syndication? Syndication is simply a way to subscribe to feeds of user profiles. You will be able to conduct a search and subscribe to those search preferences. The results will be delivered to your iTunes application or an RSS reader - then synchronized to your iPod.

I’m really not sure how I really feel about this. What I do know is that the concept in theory is a great one. However, it could be argued that with the amount of technical knowledge it takes to actually sign-up and create your own video on this site… you have to wonder if that segments the type of person you can find on this ‘dating network.’ Just food for thought.
