Looking for a new free dating site that is growing at a rapid pace, then head over to Smooch. Smooch is completely 100% free and guarantees that all its members are real people.
Smooch includes an efficient, fast search facility, fully detailed personals, free emails and free private chat, a photo gallery, a picture rating feature, a contact filter, and your very own hotlist to compile. Smooch has thousands of new members joining every day so if you are looking to possibly find someone in this way, then check it out.
The opening page looks exactly the same as many other dating sites including Match.com. Smooch competes directly with Okcupid and PlentyofFish which has a lead in the free online dating seen, so it needs to raise its game if it is going to compete.
Since the development of social media one area that hasnt really evolved yet is the beer or alcohol social network. So at this moment where do you head to rate beer? Well as far I know there are 3 key places to head. Ratebeer, BeerAdvocate, and Beer Suggest. Currently, all these sites are growing but the clear leader has to be Ratebeer. The site has huge database with some great beers in their and a very active user base.
However that being said, no really site has been able to establish the equivalent to what Snooth has done in the wine industry. Snooth has a brilliant looking site that in as equally rich in features as it is in user contributions. I think there is a real big potential to have the leading site in this market, I just wish I had the time to produce such a site.


It has been reported by the guys over at Techcrunch that Alexa has changed the algorithm for their ratings. Alexa announced that they are pulling in more sources than just the Alexa toolbar and that they have also improved their methodology.
This has all come as a pleasant change. For a long time Alexa has been criticized because of their ratings and the fact that they are just completely made up and not really relevant. There has been a lot of sites that have take a huge hit, main example is DailyBlogTips.
In the race for providing the most accurate stats of websites for free, I still think Compete and Quantcast are a long way ahead of Alexa, but these changes might make a huge change in how relevant the popularity numbers actually are.
