I liked this on a few different levels: -Hacking data to reveal the answers to important difficult questions. -Exploring contentious issues in a neutral & intelligent way. -Great example of how to attract potential customers by providing valuable information that also gently demonstrates competence related to your service & differentiates your offering from competitors. I enjoyed reading this, I learnt something, and I thought favourably of the website based on this. No idea how good they are, but that post was a good marketing lesson.

okcupid is pretty much considered the hip version of plenty of fish.

  I don't know what that means, but I did think this was a brilliant marketing post from a company, and an interesting read.

    it means that plentyoffish has nothing but fat chicks(everyone calls it Plenty of Fat), while okcupid has the hipster girls

I don't think it is really as neutral as it seems. Match percentage is a very preliminary survey of how compatible two people are, and the article itself is fairly judgmental.
