Earlier this week - online dating

Our show earlier this week centred around Online Dating. We analysed and compared four online dating sites: manhunt, gaydar, silver daddies, and pink sofa.

We discussed some of the issues brought on by Social Networking, and the challenges it has posed to employers and their employees.

We also looked into the Social Networking side of the XBox 360.

The Podcast is now available from our JOY page: joy.org.au/technogaze
