&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Visit Grauman's Chinese Theatre with your new friends.  Check out Griffith Observatory with your ideal match.  See the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Walk around Hollywood, you may run across stars!  What you can enjoy with new friends are unlimited.
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2010 08:11 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=745</guid></item><item><title>Where are we going?</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=613</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
Before you read this article, excuse me for using lots of &quot;I&quot; as this article is all about what &quot;I&quot; think about Antangle.com should go next.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I have posted a same article before, but recently, I had some time to think more about where I want to take Antangle.com to.  I still want to keep this site as clean and simple as possible.  And I want to make Antangle.com the biggest dating site in the world. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Well, as simple as it sounds, how do we do that?  And how do we do that better than competitors, knowing that competitors also wants to be the biggest dating community.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I think Antangle.com needs to revolutionize the way how people use dating site.  Like many of recent hit Internet services like Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Linkedin, it has to be easy to enter - connect - stay connect.  With these services, rapid stream of information just run through your devices, PC, Mobile, iPhone etc.  It seems just run through you, yet organized to keep network of friends together. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Paul and I will start to work on re-designing Antangle.com to make this service better for all member who are looking to meet new friends on Internet, so we can be the place to meet new friends online!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
We will announce changes soon.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends at Antangle.com

The more you meet the more chances you have of meeting &quot;the one&quot;. And &quot;the one&quot; is out there. Really!!!! But you need to meet.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 
So what do you do to meet &quot;the one&quot;? Thanks to the internet there are so many choices: from on-line dating to off-line services, the internet is filled with options and opportunities. You choose.
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Here are 5 simple things to think about when you are searching:
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Do what you love.&lt;/strong&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Are you a fitness nut? Do you love food and wine? How about bungy jumping? Whatever your pleasure there is either an on-line or off-line site that suits your needs. And it's Ok to try. Just put what your interest into the search engine, include your city to narrow your search and voil&#224;, up comes a plethora of options.
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I don't want to go alone?&lt;/strong&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
It is better to go alone, less competition. If your friend comes with you and you meet someone and this person you have just met likes your friend more, you will not be very happy. Increase your odds, go alone. You don't believe this will happen? It happens.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
You are scared to go by yourself. Get over it!!!! What do you want, stay at home alone and not meet anyone or have an opportunity to go out and have some fun and potentially meet the one. Remember it's a numbers game so start playing the numbers.
 &lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I don't trust people on those online sites.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
On-line sites are great for meeting people. So many people have found &quot;the one&quot; on-line that it is worth at least trying. The worst thing that can happen is you make some new friends. If nothing else one of the best things about the internet has been that you get to meet people you wouldn't otherwise have a chance to meet without this new, amazing tool.
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;It costs so much money to do these things.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Yes, most of the things out there do cost money, but it is going to cost you money no matter what. If you are going out on a date it costs money. You pick up the tab once, your date picks up the tab once; you see if costs money. Give yourself a budget, something that you can live with and think of it as your entertainment money. Not everything is expensive, so find something that works for you but do find something.
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What if there is no one there for me?&lt;/strong&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
That is a valid concern and it's very possible there will be no one there for you. So go with the mindset that you are going to have some fun, you will be doing what you love and you will be enjoying yourself. That's the first step and the rest will come.
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jun 2010 19:55 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=544</guid></item><item><title>Where are we going</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=519</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
This afternoon, I was putting thoughts together on where Antangle.com should go to.  I want to share some of thoughts with you.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Antangle.com will remain a simple place to meet new friends.  &quot;Simple and clean&quot; is still the main theme.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Antangle.com will focus on International friendships.  The value of Internet is overwhelming but this is powerful way to leverage Internet to shorten the distance of the world.  International friendship means we will need to work on multiple languages.  We will work on Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French version of Antangle.com.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Antangle.com will work on visibility of users.  We encourage more users to upload photos, to help visualize users.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Antangle.com will provide more real time communication.  We are working to install a chat plug-in to the service.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
At the last, we will promote more to grow the community!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy making new friends at Antangle.com

Howdy All! 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Here are more tips to make more new friends at Antangle.com.  Out of many members you have to get noticed!  Your profile have to be looking great.  How do you do that?  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
#1 is photo. You have to look your best and smiling.  You may be shy but you just got to have a photo in your profile.  There are few more pointers, but if you don't have a photo in your profile you don't have to read more.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
#2 think of one line that makes you unique and different.  You only have a 30 letters or less to tell about yourself, what is it going to be?  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
#3 be yourself.  You are looking great, you don't need to make up yourself to be someone else.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
#4 don't ask million questions.  Name yourself first.  We all know there are millions of questions to ask, but let's start off from your &quot;short&quot; introduction with your name.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It's very simple and fun to meet new friends on Antangle.com.  Send a sweet and short  messages to your new friends today, and start your new friendships now.
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Mar 2010 05:35 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=389</guid></item><item><title>A  Spamming Filter is placed</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=386</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
We have noticed that there are some users who are coming to the service for a spamming purposes.  We have placed a new spam message filter to keep our community safe.  You may have received message saying &quot;this message has been deleted by the spamming filter&quot;.  This means, the user has sent spam like messages to many members.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/marklee/spam1.gif&quot; style=&quot;width:350px;border:solid 3px silver;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
At Antangle.com we provide matching service and help initiate the communication.  It is great to exchange emails, MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Skype chat, phone (etc) ID and phone numbers to communicate farther and more at outside of Antangle.com.  However please make sure you get to know the other person well first.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
We continue to make our community better and safer to meet new friends.  Enjoy making new friends at Antangle.com
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sun, 6 Mar 2010 01:08 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=386</guid></item><item><title>How to finish your messages well.</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=294</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
You got a proper introduction, you checked your grammar, you checked your spelling, but that may not be enough to get you reply from your new friends.  You may need to finish your message strong and smooth.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I recommend that you finish your messages with interesting questions which trigger next conversations.  With such messages, your new friends will feel much more comfortable writing you back.  If your message end with a statement or too general question, your new friends will have a trouble writing you back.  (he/she will not know what to write back to you, and it's boring.) And what's more, it's better if you can make your questions as specific as possible.  Instead of &quot;what do you think about coffee&quot;, say &quot;do you like espresso more than regular blend coffee?&quot;  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
After all, it's all about balance.  Ask questions but don't ask too much questions.  Write about you, but don't write too much about you.  Keep it short, but don't make it too short.  Write friendly, but don't be too friendly.    
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Good luck, and enjoy meeting new friends at Antangle.com
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 11 Feb 2010 07:44 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=294</guid></item><item><title>Saying just &quot;hi&quot; may be enough</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=291</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
Yes, you can get reply from your new friends by just writing a simple and magic word &quot;hi&quot;.  In Antangle.com we have no smile, blink, interest, poke or other similar functionality.  But you can do similar by just saying &quot;hi&quot; in your first message.  And you can get a good reply IF.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Yes IF, and here is the catch.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
You have to have a good profile.  You need to fill all fields.  You need to say something interesting in your introduction field.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Specially if you are sending messages using credits, then you definitely want to have a good profile.  Where are you from? What do you do? Can I see your photos?  All these questions can be avoided by having a complete profile.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends at Antangle.com!

Before your write, 1st please check his/her match, and make sure you are in his/her match.  If your friend is looking for someone who is not you, you will not be getting reply.  Finding something in common and writing it about it is a great way to write your 1st messages.

Here are some tips to increase your chance to get reply.
&lt;/p&gt;
   
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;First and the most important. Post your photo. If you do not have photo, your chance of getting reply is almost 0.  Post your smiley photo, everyone likes happy charming person.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not write long message. Your new friend is not yet interested in you. They don't want to spend long time to read your message (yet). Keep it short, tell them why you were interested in them, and how that is related to you.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;DO NOT COPY PASTE. They can tell that you have copy paste your message and sent exact same messages to many others.
&lt;li&gt;Be creative, you have only few words to catch their attention.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends at Antangle.com

&lt;p&gt;
It all started when Paul and I got together and started to talk about better place to meet new people online. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
We have realized that there are hundreds of SNS and dating sites out there to meet new friends, but none were simple enough.  We wanted simpler, straightforward, fast, clean, and safe place for people to connect.  And here is antangle.com for you.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Users who are interested in traveling and cultures.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
We target users who like to travel and interested in different cultures.  You will find many friends who are living global in your local area.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Yes, it is Paid Service.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
There are few reasons why we offer paid service,
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;1. No spammers, No ads. &lt;/u&gt;
We are here to provide professional service to connect you with new friends. No ads, No spamming.  Paid service help us to focus on our mission.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;2. Paid members are verified via credit card.&lt;/u&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
Unlike traditional SNS where you can re-connect with your real friends, you are meeting new friends at Antangle.com. We want safety when meeting new friends online. We are working hard to provide safest and most real place to meet new friends online. It is important that we verify users to avoid troubles and help members behave. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Technology&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
We rely on the latest technology to save time and provide secure services (or Paul simply likes new technology). Because, there are 6 of us who maintain this service we can rely on programs to handle most of tasks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Matching Logic&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

It's great to see growing community and active members in Antangle.com.  Now we are having high numbers of communication happening, I want to leave a few pointers to make better impressions (higher response rate).  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Always, number 1:&lt;/u&gt;  Post your photo before you send message.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Number 2:&lt;/u&gt; Refer to some of good messages you have received.  You have gotten some good message from other users?  What worked for you probably work for many others.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Number 3:&lt;/u&gt;  Complete your profile, please fill your profile as much, you may end up wasting your time (or credits) telling same story to many friends.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Number 4:&lt;/u&gt;  Keep it short, and tell them why you are writing them.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Number 5:&lt;/u&gt;  &quot;Call me at&quot;, &quot;Send me Email at&quot;, &quot;Let's chat at MSN/Skype/AOL/Yahoo&quot; on your first message never work.  You will eventually move to next phase of communication (chat, phone, meet at cafe shop etc), but first you need to engage in appropriate communication and get to know each other.  Often people do not want to give out their personal email/chat address until they know you are potentially a good match.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Number 6:&lt;/u&gt;  Do not copy paste message and send out to many. You can't keep #4 with copy paste message.    
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If you would like to improve your message or chance to meet more new friends, you can always contact me!
&lt;/p&gt;

We sometimes get email from users about &quot;I cannot login&quot;.  There may be several reasons.  Here are few check points.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Please make sure you have your 'CAP LOCK' is not enabled.  User name and password are case sensitive.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Please make sure your 'NUM LOCK' is not enabled. &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;You may have already fail to login too many times.  If you fail to login too many times, for the security reason the account gets locked.  If you do not remember your password, please reset at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/pgeForgotpassword001.aspx&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; before your accounts get locked out.  If your account did get lock out then please send email from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/help/Default.aspx&quot;&gt;form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

Hello, I finally got my Windows 7 machine. I'm pretty excited. Oh anyway, I am Mark and my main job here is to maintain database and analyze the service to better serve you.  I want to contribute to Antangle.com by studying user behavior and make suggestion to Alex and his team.  I also want to share the data with you to better understand Antangle.com.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/marklee/imgBrowserStats.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width:450px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Today, I wanted to share browser used on Antangle.com, the number of share for Internet Explorer is the highest at 49.89%, almost 1/2 of users use IE.  And the next is Firefox. These are two major browsers and not a surprising numbers.  But great to see people are checking on mobile device like HTC to find and meet new friends on Antangle.com!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
And Playstaion 3? wow.

&lt;p&gt;
Hello All, I hope you already had a chance to try out new credit system.  Trying our service before upgrading to gold membership.  We originally stated, there are 100 credits rewards for inviting friends to Antangle.com when invited user complete profile over 70%.  We are now changing this to just, if invited friends register Antangle.com, we reward you with 100 credit at first login.  This is much simpler for us, and faster reward to you.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;/&gt;

We reward all invitation with 100 credits (worth 10 messages).  And this is a great way to enjoy Antangle.com for free.  We now have many more users who invite their friends, great!  However, some of users has requested us to make invitation easier, having to type invitation messages and your name is tidiest work if you want to invite more than 1 friend.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/paulhudson/invitesetting.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; width:320px;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We have added new page on &quot;settings&quot; &gt; &quot;Invitation Settings&quot;; there you can store your name and messages to friends.  You can also view your invite history and converted friends.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Invite your friends and expand circle of your friends.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;/&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 4 Nov 2009 09:26 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=240</guid></item><item><title>Number of new mails in your mail box</title><link>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=239</link><description>&lt;p&gt;
One of the main functions of Antangle.com is sending/receiving messages with new friends.  We figured most of messages are short, and we don't need to show a title or first few lines of main messages as a list.  Instead, we show full messages in chat style.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Because you can see entire message in a list, it is difficult when to mark messages are read or not.  We have changed designs of the mail box page; you can check read or click on reply button to mark the message as read.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/paulhudson/imgTipsforPaul1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;tips1&quot;/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Well, let us know if you have some suggestions, we will love to hear from you!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends.

Good evening everyone.  Today, I am excited to introduce new way to make friends at Antangle.com.  We have had good turn over for premium members, roughly 30% of users in Antangle.com has purchase gold memberships in this past 2 month.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/alexevans/credit1.gif&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right:10px; border:solid 1px silver; width:300px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
After long talk with our tech man Paul, we have decided to introduce credit system and make it fun to make new friends in Antangle.com.  Here are how you can earn and spend credit at Antangle.com.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Earn It&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Upload Photo&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;10credit&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;/photo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Invite Friends&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;100credit&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;/successful invite &lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;*1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Register via Invitation&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;10credit&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;/time&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Being Antangle Member&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;10credit&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;/day&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;*2&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Spend It&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;table border=1&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Send Message&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;10credit&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;/message&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
*1;If invited user complete profile above 70%
&lt;br/&gt;
*2;If your last login date with in past 14 days.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
We are brainstorming more fun and creative ways to earn/spend credits.  Gold membership still is our main product, and you can always purchase gold membership to send unlimited messages to members in Antangle.com
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy making new friends!

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Today we have adjusted how footmark works on Antangle.com.  There has been complains from users that 1 users takes up most of her footmark space.  It's true.  I checked my footmark and here is Alex taking up my footmark space.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/marklee/footmarkbyalex.gif&quot; width=&quot;250px&quot; style=&quot;float:left;padding:10px;&quot;/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
We have made a change, there can only be 1 footmark in every 15 minutes.  This way if you are in and out of same profile many times you can only leave 1 footmark and leave other spot for other users. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Yes, we love complains, and love to make improvement from them.
&lt;/p&gt;

We have started our ad campaign in Los Angeles area today.  And I thought I better know more about LA.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
From my town, Montreal it is 4,591km 42 hours of drive.  Well I better fly out.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.antangle.com/blog/alexevans/imgFromMontrealToLosAngeles1.gif&quot; width=&quot;500px&quot;/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The city population is 3,833,995*, the largest city in the state of California and 2nd largest cities in the United States, pretty much everyone knows LA.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I knew where LA was, and I knew it was a big city.  But there are many new findings about Los Angeles today.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Los Angeles was found on September 4th, 1781 by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, and was part of Mexico in 1821 along with independence of Mexico from Spain.  Then there was Mexican-American War (1846-1848), The war ended with Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which included purchased of Los Angeles area by the United States, then Los Angles incorporated April 4th 1850.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Many of us know LA as a home of Hollywood.  Our lives and trend today has big influence by entertainment made here.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I would like add more information about Los Angeles, but it's time to sleep for me today Zzz, 1am in Montreal now.  Good night and enjoy meeting new friends.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;

Today, one of our customers asked me; hey I have written many messages to several users but I never get reply.  Here I am, I am a profile specialist at Antangle.com.  Betsy and I are here to help someone like him to polish up his profile and messages, so that he can make many friends here.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
First I have asked him if he would like to take a look at his profile and messages to give some suggestion for improvement.  He agree to let us look at his profile and sent some messages that he has sent to other members in antangle.com.  (And also he has agree to let us write about it.)
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
His profile was OK, 1 nice photo, short greeting to other members, said &quot;Hello&quot;.  At Antangle.com you only have two fields to express yourself differently from others.  We have intentionally made it short, we think it's tired to read all lines (and writing for sure).  We value &quot;initiation&quot; at Antangle.com, users can exchange about their lives and thoughts once conversation is initiated on email, chat or coffee shops etc.  My point is, it's short and there is no room to waste for &quot;Hello&quot;, it needs to have a greater punch line.  Sort of like pick up line in our real lives.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It goes same for his first messages.  First message is important, because that is your first impression.  He is a great guy, but without knowing much of him the other users get impression about him on first messages.  This got to be short and sweet.  Read their profiles and talk about something that relates to what they on profile, but please keep it short.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
And don't forget to upload your smile photo, smile kills!
&lt;/p&gt;

Hello I am Betsy, a profile service at antangle.com.  My job is to manage profiles in antangle.com, mainly helping to improve profile quality so that you can find new friends here better.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Well, Alex is giving me a almost impossible task of simple profile page that inspire other members to be friend with that person.  I believe John, the other profile specialist, and Paul can work out some great interface and looks of profile that make anyone's profile simple and interesting. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
My part is suggesting and helping you to write better profile and messages.  I think we all want to say, &quot;Hi, I saw your profile and want to know more about you&quot;, however there are millions ways of saying same, and all means slightly different.  I myself is not yet expert in writing my own profile and I would like to learn more with users in antangle.com.
&lt;p/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends!

Hello All!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Today we have finally released our new service antangle.com.  Antangle.com is a friend finding service, to meet friends locally or/and globally.  Antangle.com offers service to initiate friendship with other users.  Oh, I wish I can write more about it, but this service is too simple for a long explanation; you search and browse profile and send them messages to start your new friendship.

&lt;p&gt;
Product development to make something simple that work, that's very difficult but we are trying.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It was short and intense product development, but our tech team Paul and Mark has done a great job putting this service together.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Enjoy meeting new friends at antangle.com
&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Sun, 3 Oct 2009 20:33 -5000</pubDate><guid>http://www.antangle.com/blog/pgeArticle001.aspx?AID=218</guid></item></channel></rss>
