WHAT
THEY SAY: For
singles, dating and romance. Superb online matchmaking, dating,
socializing and private chat for people just like you! People
join uDate for many reasons. Often, they are just too busy to
meet other people by traditional methods. But, more than
anything, people join because they want to be part of the
community. A community which offers a safe online environment to
meet people with similar interests. - A community where you can
remain anonymous, until such time as you feel ready to develop a
relationship further. A community dedicated to providing you
with the best possible search, selection and matching technology
available.
WHAT WE FOUND: uDate
makes meeting online fun again! The Profile you will
complete to begin your free trial membership is just enough for you to talk
about what you are looking for in a partner without revealing
too much, but you can include as much information about yourself
as you like. The free trial gets you in, but to send or reply to
messages, you have to become a paid member. This keeps the insincere
people out and helps to maintain the "really single" atmosphere that
makes uDate such a successful online meeting and dating service. The uDate messaging system maintains your privacy, and
once you start looking for friends and romantic partners, the
match page will tell you how compatible the person is for you
based on your defined criteria. Be sure to start with the uDate
Tour if this is your first visit, you'll be amazed at all the
features that are available to you, designed just to make you at
ease and having fun meeting new friends. Many members surf in
every day and are looking for chat partners, so it's best to
join in on the chats and you'll meet more people than just by
browsing the ads. The Who's Online feature combined with the
exclusive uWhisper chat system really adds to the fun of finding
new friends and serious romantic partners. With new members joining
every day, uDate is the leading site for people meeting people.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
Trial to see all the features offered, Who's Online, uWhisper Chat, picture personals and Compatibility Matches.
Become a paid member to send and reply to messages. Straight personals

WHAT WE FOUND:
LetsMeetUp is an online video community that is great for people that
own a webcam and want to meet other singles through video profiles and
for people that want to see more than just a picture. Currently
LetsMeetUp is free to join, post your profile and contact other members,
so join now because soon it will be changed to a paid membership. (No
date is available for this change.) The profile form is basic and will
only take a minute to complete, the real fun here is the video profiles
that are available. Be sure you have a webcam ready to place your own
video ad or join the competitions to win one. Creating your video
profile is easy but does require a software download (automatically
installed, don’t worry about being a technical person). “The Lounge” is
an online magazine that has plenty of fun articles, advice, contests and
things to do. Searches are fast and browsing the profiles is easy to do
and quick to find the type of profiles you’re interested in. They really
made a site worth hanging out at when they decided on the features to be
made available at LetsMeetUp. (Note: Internet Explorer is required to
access the features of this service, other browsers are not currently
supported.)

WHAT THEY SAY:
Welcome to Lovepepper.co.uk, the best place to meet singles from all over the UK and Ireland. Try our Instant Messaging and Private Messaging facilities, unique to the UK at the moment.
WHAT WE FOUND:You have to join
Lovepepper to get inside the service. You'll find a fun place to hang out what you've added your profile and upgraded your account to silver membership. There is no free trial (you can post in the forums only), but this helps to keep out people that aren't really sincere about meeting someone. The 4 stages of your
Lovepepper membership are joining, completing your profile, searching for someone to meet in the UK or Ireland, then joining as a silver member so you can contact the members that interest you. The 7 day membership period is quite inexpensive and will allow you to use the fun, and quite unique, IM (Instant Messaging) system (keep it open once you have logged in!), browse and search through the profiles and send messages to other members' private message inbox. The profile questions are quite comprehensive and will allow you to learn a lot about other members as you search for someone to meet although most answers are short and to the point. All messages are sent through the
Lovepepper system, so you are always anonymous until you feel comfortable enough to reveal more personal information about yourself. Overall,
Lovepepper is a fun messaging and dating service that once you become a silver member you'll really enjoy.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to place your ad but you must become a paid member to send and reply to messages. Straight, same sex and swinger ads available here.

WHAT THEY SAY:
Thousands of personal ads to browse, it's fun, easy and safe to connect with other singles. Let MatchClick.com be your single source for personals, dating, romance and friends.
WHAT WE FOUND:MatchClick offers a popular way to meet serious singles that are looking for a variety of relationships. Easy to join, the membership form should only take a couple of minutes, depending on how long you take to answer the 3 essay questions that are a part of describing yourself to the other members. A credit card is required with your sign-up, but you do receive a 7 day full access free trial and if you decide to cancel your membership before it ends, you will not be charged anything. The chat is always active and the search form to find a match is easy to offers a lot of options to narrow your search compatibilities. MatchClick is also available through your Palm Pilot or similar device as well as your web enabled cellular phone so as a member you will have the ability to always be in touch with other members. There are more than 1000 members joining every week and our test searches showed no old or stale personal ads.

WHAT
THEY SAY: We
have tens of thousands of active UK dating members and the dating
technology to allow you to match, meet, chat, pass messages and photos
with confidentiality. It is fun and could change your life today.
WHAT WE FOUND: Planet
Personals is possibly the biggest and fastest growing (October 2003) UK
based dating service. Start your visit with the tour, which is actually
a free trial signup. We’re not keen on that, but if you want to check
out an online dating service, the best thing to do is join for free, and
this is how you’ll start at Planet Personals. They have all the features
that contribute to being so popular which includes an easy to use
navigation system, picture ratings (rate the face) that you can play as
a trial member, fast searches and lots of people always online ready to
trade messages and chat. Joining is fast and secure, you’re in as soon
as you click (your password will be sent to you) and you don’t have to
relogin once you’ve selected a unique member name, but you do need to
enter the activation code that is sent to you before you can contact
other members. (Ours didn’t work on the first try, be prepared to have
the code resent to you.) The control panel (the “my info” link) lists
all the areas that you should complete for people to read about you and
the important things in your life including describing your ideal
partner as well as letting the personal search feature work for you.
Also showing on the control panel page are lists of people that have
viewed your profile, who the new members are, who’s birthday it is and
the recent chats you’ve had. You do have to become a paid member to chat
and send/receive messages, but it’s one of the cheapest monthly
memberships we’ve seen in a service that has so many features. The
search features has two ways it works but both methods are dependant on
you having completed the questions on your control panel page, so take a
few minutes and complete the questions to see who matches the person
you’d like to meet. Overall, be prepared to spend a lot of time
completing your profile, searching and, once you’re a full member,
chatting and trading messages. You’ll like Planet Personals, we do.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free
trial allows you to join, rank other members photos, complete your
profile and search, become a paid member to send/receive messages.
Straight and same sex personals available.

WHAT
THEY SAY: E-meeting
proposes all sort of services based on the Corresponding topic. A
very simple and detailed subscription to join our pen friends.
Learning a language? Is there a better teacher than the person who
speak it the whole day? We propose a Course rubric, in which
people want to help you to learn their language. For young pupils,
is there a better way to learn communication, computing and about
the different countries than speaking with concerned people?
We also have a 'Twining' rubric, which let schools of the whole
world communicate together.
WHAT WE FOUND:A
great PenPals service that is accessible in French and English.
Learn a new language by becoming a PenPal with someone that wants
to share new learning experiences with you. Members of E-meeting
who want to share their culture, language and friendship with you
speak more than 20 different languages. With an easy sign-up, you
will soon have new friends from all corners of the globe and learn
about the world we live in as well as something of yourself. I
like the audio chat and the chat room reservations so you can
invite your friends and meet regularly. Chat searches have many
different categories, so you’ll know what the other person is
ready to talk about. Personal details can be as long or as short
as you like and will give you the information you want to start
meeting someone now that shares your interests.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND:Free
service featuring audio chat and easy member searches. Include
your picture with your profile too!

WHAT
THEY SAY:Whispers4u offers a unique personal matching
service that responds to your personal preferences and desires, with the
help of specially programmed technology called WhisperMatch.
WHAT WE FOUND:
Your visit begins by joining and starting your 7 day full access free
trial once you have answered some quick questions about yourself and
where you live and you’ve responded to your member account activation
email. We like the “Do you have a disability?” question right at the
start. It really sets this service apart and will help a large segment
of the population find caring people that are aware of any physical
differences and not be surprised later on. You should know that the
“full access” is only available if you have signed up for the free trial
and used your credit card to be billed for full membership after your
free trial expires. (you’re not billed if you quit before the 7th day.)
Or you can join the message-by-credit plan and only pay when you want to
send messages to other members. But the monthly membership plan is best.
Your profile section is divided into separate categories so you can take
your time answering the questions about yourself and the type of person
you’d like to meet. The whisperMATCH and whisperSEARCH features really
add functionality to your membership, you’ll use them often. About a
third of the profiles we’ve seen have at least one picture included and
you can search for profiles that only have pictures which will make
browsing the profiles and adding members to your buddies list fun. We
like the whisperONLINE feature too, you can see who’s visiting at the
same time you are and send a message quickly to them to their
whisperMAILBOX message center.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND: 7
day full access free trial (with credit card) or send 5 free email
messages before needing to upgrade your membership. Chat room, who’s
online, great match system. Straight, same sex and disabled person
personal ads.
