OfficiallyDating.com launches today. Supposedly they are trying to make it into a Facebook-like site for couples.
My personal opinion?
It think this is a great concept and dating has always made a lot of money on the internet. Now the only hurdle they will face is if their site stands up to the level of Facebook.
I did sign up and test out the service but what I think is missing is API like Facebook where developers can add games, movie raters, and etc…etc…
At this point, it doesn’t look any more different than other social networking sites, these guys have a lot of work to do.

Most couples have the natural, human compulsion to let the world know that they’re in love. This phenomenon crosses cultures and spans millennia. Ancient ancestors marked their relationships by painting walls and chiseling stone. Particularly in the early 20th Century, couples carved their initials on trees. In the 1980s and 1990s many accomplished the same goal with graffiti. However, culture always evolves. Modern young women no longer wear their boyfriends’ “pins”, “graduation rings” and “varsity jackets”. So, other than seeing a wedding ring, that perennial icon, it can be surprisingly difficult to discern if someone is available.
