On the other hand a <A HREF="http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSL1044939820070710" REL="nofollow">Reuters report</A><BR/> a projected 30% growth in online advertising by 2008 under the heading "UK Internet advertising growth to slow".

How many have commented on someone elses post on a blog or a forum.<BR/><BR/>Wht do they mean by 'using online dating'. Loads of kids meet people they are introduced to through social networking. They may not think of themselves as using online dating.<BR/><BR/>Often the questions on these surveys miss the point.
