Wow, how time has flown. DiveIntoThePool.com’s free online dating service has now been going strong for a full year! The sites seen several new features for the users such as the new Share Profile button, new Thumbnail view in the search results and the Larger image sizes thanks to using Amazon S3 for images. The code base has been updated to use Visual Studio 2010, Amazon S3 and also has seen a couple of small bug fixes and the site has also made it into the Yahoo! Directory.

I’ve put a lot of time into my advertising campaigns recently but I’m moving on to adding new site features for this coming year. It feels really good to have kept going for a full year and I’m only excited to see what this next year will bring for the site. With so many stories about startups throwing in the towel after only 3 or 6 months I really feel like I’ve already done something amazing with this free online dating service. I’m even more dedicated now to making it an even better site to meet a partner in the coming year. Our second anniversary is just around the corner so I’d better get to work.
