Online dating standby Match.com has hooked up with Facebook to enhance the chances of connecting its clients by enabling them to make some new connections among the fast-growing number of Facebook users worldwide. Dating website Match.com, owned by media mogul Barry Dillers InterActiveCorp New York conglomerate, plans to release two new features that bring improved social networking capabilities to its 15 million Match.com members and the 58 million active users of Facebook. Dallas Match.com, which began in 1995, is announcing the release of Little Black Book, a new way to link Facebook users with Match.com daters. Match.com has already introduced Match My Friends, which enables friends or family members of a prospective online dater to create a profile for him or her, with the approval of the potential dater. Match.com general manager Craig Wax stated, There are a lot of people out there who are interested in online dating and just need that extra push. Little Black Book enables Facebook users to sign up to see other Facebook users who hope to date someone. Once they are signed up, users of Little Black Book will receive prospective matches among Facebook users and non-Facebook users who are signed up with Match.com. InterActiveCorp owns other Internet properties, including Evite, Citysearch, and Oaklands Ask.com.
