Match online dating
Match.com, the match online dating service started by Gary Kremen in 1994, was one of the first consumer-oriented matching sites.
It was started as a proof-of-concept for electric Classifieds which aimed to provide classified advertising systems for newspapers. Early on, Gary was assisted by Peng Ong, who helped develop the initial system, and Simon Glinsky, who helped develop the first Internet business plans for Electric Classifieds.In November 2004, Guinness World Records recognized Match.com as the largest online dating site in the world. At the time more than 42 million singles globally had registered with Match.com since its launch in 1995, and worldwide there were over 15 million members using the service.
