The Good
Plentyoffish.com is user-focused, community-driven and 100% free.
It has an active forum, a large membership and an incredible rate of growth.
Advanced search has many options and results can be displayed as a photo gallery.
Visually, it’s not the prettiest site in the world (and the markup gives the W3C HTML Validator a heart attack) but it’s free so I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
The Bad
Many profile photos are poorly resized and/or of low quality.
I am not a fan of the animated “smiley” banner ads. The one on the FAQ page led to a site with a “yellow” SiteAdvisor website safety rating.
The Beautiful
Plentyoffish.com was created by a remarkable man named Markus Frind.
In his words:
Those are not just words. Markus is fiercely loyal to his users and leaves a lot of money on the table for their sake.
For example, members can block messages from whole groups of users they are not interested in. Most of his competitors shun this feature because it slashes profits.
In addition to a good heart, Markus has a beautiful mind.
He runs the site out of his apartment single handedly (with some help from his girlfriend) using only 4 (!) servers. His competitors, on the other hand, all have at least 200 employees and about 300 servers. In a post on Webmaster World (where Markus devotes time to helping fellow webmasters), he said it comes down to algorithms, AI and optimization.
Update 2008/07/20: Markus Frind opened an office and now has a total of three employees, one employee for every 250,000 *daily* active users. Source: Plentyoffish Office (The Paradigm Shift)
Worth Visiting?
Yes. Plenty of fish, indeed.
Worth Subscribing?
Yes. You have nothing to lose (it’s free) and so much to gain.
More importantly, I’d rather support a small business that focuses on maximizing user satisfaction than a large corporation that, by its nature, must focus on maximizing shareholder returns.
