If so, I'd like to see their track record of long-term relationships. =)</p><p>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.</p>Dave YooThu, 26 Jul 2007 19:14:09 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/26/phone-service-jangl-lands-four-new-partners/#comment-14677047<p>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.</p>Eric EldonThu, 26 Jul 2007 19:01:31 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/26/phone-service-jangl-lands-four-new-partners/#comment-14677046<p>Eric, to clarify, <a href="http://fubar.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="fubar.com">fubar.com</a> is not a dating service but rather positioned as an online bar and happy hour.
