VentureBeat: Phone service Jangl lands four new partners

Dave Yoo · 2 years ago

Eric, to clarify, fubar.com is not a dating service but rather positioned as an online bar and happy hour. (www.fubar.com)

Fubar uses a virtual bar theme explicitly to help people meet each other. Seems like a dating service to me, and not so much about bringing together connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages.

Do people go to bars for the sole purpose of finding their soul-mate? If so, I'd like to see their track record of long-term relationships. =)

A bar is just a social gathering place. Sometimes romances spring from them, but usually it's just a venue for people to hang out. People don't use FriendFinder and other "dating services" just to hang out.
