Our experience in other dating sites helped SingleCity seamlessly integrate this web application into their existing business. SingleCity grew out of a successful dating and introduction service in New York City. Prior to the website, MDRB Holdings had been quite successful conducting live singles events like speed dating. Their goal in creating a web presence was to retain the intimacy of live dating and bring that excitement to the online experience. One of the first challenges was creating an online speed dating module. This function creates a schedule, matches users for a specified time and then allows each participant to choose immediately whether they want to continue the relationship for friendship, romance or business networking. Each member can see the results and communicte with other interested members in an online chat, via e-mail or phone. The site is also integrated into live speed dating events. At the conclusion of each event, users can log in to SingleCity and see the results of the event immediately. SingleCity also has advanced search capabilities allowing multiple photos, the ability to find users who are currently online, and filters to show the newest members or only members with photos. Premium members can also chat online using our custom-built Flash chat client. Included in the package is a bulletin board designed to allow networking between members and a weblog to help keep members updated with the latest dating news. SingleCity runs on a FreeBSD platform with a MySQL database and PHP. We use PHP to allow photo uploads and alter the image as it is transmitted. The site also has an extensive administrative area. |
