Dating web sites like myspace

It even has a built-in translator to translate your chats.

This isn't feeding the My Space beast - it's more like leeching off it.

But these services all add value, so hopefully My Space won't feel the need to throttle them or (worse still) build an in-house version.

Dating Anyone helps you track the dating status of people on your My Space friends list, and presumably catch them on the rebound.

When there's a change in your friend's status, you're sent an email alert.

The service doesn't log in as you - it simply sends out a bot to grab the status info from the profile pages.

Surprisingly, Dating Anyone isn't the only player in this space - a more lightweight service called Single does exactly the same thing.

People no longer need a personal handshake or face-to-face meeting.
