The point is, the act of dating is all about getting social.Dating is a subset of getting social.Hence, dating and social networking cannot really be called two different industries.
Not different industries maybe, but certainly different niches. Social networks try and connect you with people you already know while dating sites try and match you with people you don't know. There was an article about how dating sites should focus on the flirting and social interaction and hopefully this gives them the motivation to change their direction.
Bah, lack of innovation is causing the rapid decline. And have you seen how crap dating sites look in comparison to Facebook?
