Greetings!
Welcome to the Cyber-Dating Expert Weekly Flirt. It was an exciting week at iDate 2009, The Internet Dating Conference which was held in conjunction with the Social Networking Conference at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. I met with many of the top level managers in the online dating industry where the theme was all about mobile. They are saying, "Mobile Dating is the New Plastic." Think about it. If you are downloading applications on your iPhone or BlackBerry, you will relate. If you are more technically challenged, no need to fret. Traditional online dating sites are still very popular. Use the services that you are most comfortable with. To read more about the latest from iDate, check out the Featured Article in this week's newsletter. We are days away from 4th of July. Along with an extra vacation day and viewing spectacular fireworks, why not find a sizzling spark or connection with someone you can meet online? A few new online dating sites have just been added to our Dating Community and eHarmony is offering their Free Communication Weekend from Thursday through Sunday, July 2nd - July 5th. As always, thank you for sharing your stories and online dating experiences on the Cyber-Dating Expert site. Julie Spira

Fashion & Beauty Tips |
At a recent charity event, I stopped by the boutique and was thrilled to meet Carol Wexler, the owner of Borrowed Bling: Hollywood's Best Kept Secret. Their diamond hooped earrings look so authentic, that even the stars have been seen around town wearing them, and yes, so have I. Now one of Hollywood's best kept secrets can be yours as well. You can either sign up for a plan where you can borrow gorgeous jewelry or buy copies so real, even my jeweler had to look twice. With today's economic concerns, why not look fashionable, affordably.

iDate-Update Highlights from the Internet Dating Conference
- Social networking and online dating are now a killer combination called social dating.
- Social networking sites are becoming people's identity on the web.
- Instant Messaging is still an important feature
- Virtual Gifts are on the rise: Facebook reported $60 million in sales
The online dating industry, which is now estimated to be at a billion dollars a year, is filled with challenges in today's economy. It's a business that loses its members when they are either successful in finding love online or they cancel their subscription due to dissatisfaction. The group estimated that 1-2 out of every ten dates were considered successful by its members.
Some new services included Chemistry-Matching: a user-friendly home test that determines your physical attraction, personality match based on social-psychological compatibility, chemistry match based on a biological compatibility, and an overall match combining personality and chemistry.
Also, there is a new service called LetsCallMe.com where you receive calls via web link to prevent revealing your phone number or the number of your cyber-date. The purpose is not to share your phone identity until you have had the chance to meet. The question remains, will online dating users pay for these additional services?
