Dru Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 News story Hidden within an otherwise geeky story about spam is this little gem: Match.com, an online dating service, uses carefully chosen affiliates to reach niche audiences, such as mountain climbers or ethnic groups, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I heard Match.com gave up on another niche group when after 3 years they couldn't find any perverts willing to date a lawyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 You were reading a geeky publication? I don't beleive it. I too am incredulous. They chose an interesting pair of examples of "niche" audiences. Not everyone is a "mountain climber," but everyone, in one way or another, is a member of an "ethnic group" (broadly defined). They might as well have said: "...niche audiences, such as wallpaper hangers, or those who must eat food to survive." ...of course I know that "ethnic group" is really a euphemism for "minority," but whatever.

Harkin_Banks Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 sounds like a fun outing then did you spend the evening discussing the subtleties of dirt rappelling, or did the banter steer more towards the upcoming mountain walking seminar?

selkirk Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 What can I say, beer and pizza go great with planning the spring Smiffy trips, and a few our first shots at Rainer. I'd invite you to head outside with us next weekend, but well... I wouldn't want them to think that all climbers are are drooling and anti-social Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
