CNET acquires Consumating
Reports have started surfacing that we have officially acquired Consumating.com which bills itself as a dating site for "hot nerdy girls and indie rock boys! With glasses!"

It really feels more like a social networking site. There are no specific tools for a dating service (although I don't know what dating services would look like any way). You basically fill out a profile and tag yourself with your interests. Then, other people can find your profile and decide if they'd like to contact you.

For those of us that are married, there are options you can select in your profile that show you are in a relationship or are just interested in making "internet buddies."

So if you're interested in girls who play videogames or guys who like robots, you can find them on Consumating. You can also build more complex tag queries like a dumb blond in their 20s who like videogames and zombies. Where else you gonna find that?

I created a test profile to see what kind of tools they offer. Remember ladies, I'm taken. However, feel free to add the "foxy" tag to my profile.
