SNAP Interactive, the provider of online dating applications for social networking sites, announced the release of two such applications. One is called Are You Interested and the other is Flirst With Me. Both are aimed at MySpace users, and are available as applications at MySpace. The applications have developed upon the recently released MySpace Developer Platform.

Briefly, Are You Interested? allows members to view pictures and indicate whether or not they are interested in each other, while Flirt With Me is a fun dating application that allows users to exchange flirts. Also, this application integrates a Flirt With Me profile box onto profiles to allow anyone who visits a MySpace page to send flirt messages.

The overall goal of SNAP Interactive was to create a fun online dating environment and enhance the experience for singles on MySpace. So, if you're a MySpace member, here are the links towards these two applications:

Sir Paul McCartney has just gone through a bitter divorce with Heather Mills. However, he is not feeling down on his luck, in fact, things are looking up for the star. At 65 years-of-age he has been spotted dating three women in the past few months. The first being a singer named Rosanne Arquette, past Olympic horse-rider Tanya Larrigan, and recently he was seen basking in the Caribbean sun with a millionaire Nancy Shevell.

Friends of Paul's say he wants to get out into the dating world. His relationship with Mills was rocky and difficult, and this has left him cautious in the area of a relationship. One of the friends of the Beatles star says, "None of us would be surprised if Paul met a fourth woman and took her on holiday with him."

His friend also added, "He doesn't want to rush into a heavy relationship. He just wants to go out, have fun, and live life. He really likes Nancy but he is not taking things too seriously. He doesn't even want to acknowledge that they are in a relationship at this stage." In addition he mentioned, "We're not sure Nancy sees it that way. She seems to have deep feelings for him. But, he is back in top form, loving being the eligible bachelor after a horrible divorce."

He's also very close to Rosanna, with whom he has had dinner and drinks many times. They are said to be scheduled to meet soon.

Tanya is also a love-interest. She is the daughter of Peter Larrigan, the past adviser for McCartney's horses.

Only the future will tell if McCartney will get serious or not.

We covered Crush of Flush back in December 2007. Briefly, it's a mobile social network but with an additional dimension of flirting between members. Basically, members can rate each other's profiles (pictures) by "crushing" (liking) or "flushing" (disliking) them, but not only that, as there are numerous ways to interact by sharing pictures, chatting and flirting.

They've introduced a new feature on the site. Since members average about a hundred page views a day (it was said the service was addictive), Crush or Flush decided to test an advertising feature on their site called Golden Tickets. Basically, marketers are given the opportunity to introduce and advertise their brand by registering a Golden Ticket, which is a sponsor labeled profile. When members browse profiles they can also see the sponsored profile, usually having to do with the context of their search. For example, a member browsing content tagged with music could be presented with a sponsored profile for 106.1 KISS FM, which used the Golden Ticket option. This advertiser, and some others, has had a positive experience advertising this way, which resulted in significant brand engagement.

Many university students say that it is getting hard to meet people on campus. Especially since the school is large and there are so many students that very often end up bumping into somebody only once. But, Speed Dating is an excellent solution to this problem.

Western Illinois University has this type of event, which is organized by the University Union Board. One such event was held last Wednesday in the Western Illinois University Heritage Room. There were many students wearing numbers with name tags, and they were chatting away only after a short time.

The event was held at 8:30 in the evening. A folk-music concert followed, so if any of the participants found a match they could get to know one another better afterwards.

The way this type of "dating" works is that you move from person to person, getting to know each other. The catch is, that you only have three minutes to tell that person about yourself.

For those not looking for a date or relationship, this event provided a table for "friends," where food and beverages were provided.

The event went really well and there will be a repeat of it at the university next year with much more advertisement to spread the news. Most of the participants enjoyed the event, and even if they did not find a date, they certainly went away with a few new friends.

Let's face it. Ever since she separated from Brad Pitt, Jennifer can't find herself another man. Now it seems she's opting for the same guy who killed her ex-husband in the "Troy" movie - Orlando Bloom.

Apparently the two couldn't hide their feelings at a charity event in Los Angeles' restaurant Beso last month. Jennifer and Orlando attended the event hosted by restaurant owner Eva Longoria to raise money for the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation. Jennifer's closest friends — Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Jessica Simpson and Kate Beckinsale — also joined the party.

A source told OK! magazine: "They were like heat-seeking missiles. They came together, threw their arms around each other and shared a big hug."
