The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana and is sure to attract a record breaking audience. With a potential to reach 200 million households, there is no doubt companies host one of their funniest and best commercials during the breaks. Expect no less when these commercials are aired since a 30 second spot is costing them around 4 million dollars.

It is wise to plan ahead for this event so that you stock up for food and drinks. If you are in the early stages of dating, why not invite your dating partner to your event. Make it a friendly crowd with about 5-6 people and you have the making of a great gathering. Instead of preparing heavy meals, make some light snacks, mini sandwich wraps (both vegetarian or non-vegetarian), chips and drinks. If you have some avid coffee and tea drinkers amongst the group, make a pot of hot-water in a flask or make a pot of coffee or tea that you can keep warm. Have plenty of water bottles ready and lace the coffee table with peanuts, chips, some candies and pretzels and you are ready to go!

Are Dating Websites Dead? - Part 2
Tuesday, January 29th, 2013
Dating websites are the centrepiece of any accessibility
What this means, is that you will always need a website to support the multiple ways that users will access your service. Mobile apps need to tap into the huge database of the website for both non and free dating websites.
Devices will increase in screen size
Smartphones are growing in screen size and is one of the reasons for the lackluster growth of Apple who have not taken advantage of this as well as Samsung. This means that screen size will be sufficient for many of these devices to access the dating website without any additional aid.
Devices are intelligent
Some people may not be aware of this, but smartphones are also smart enough (no pun intended) to apply automatic tweaking of the website to display them better on the small screen size. There are billions of websites out there and it makes sense for smartphone manufactures to work with their small browsers to render those websites better for its base of users.
So there you have it, although we are witnessing an astonishing growth in the types of devices that connect to websites of today, the truth is that websites will continue to grow based on this demand. With smart TVs now taking a footing in homes, the return of good old websites in full glory of a 50” TV will become more apparent.

Are Dating Websites Dead? - Part 1
Tuesday, January 29th, 2013
We have a growing band of users armed with their smartphones and even phablets (a cross between smartphone and tablets) that spend most of their time browsing the internet. Naturally the time spent on these devices take users away from what used to be the standard way of browsing ie. your humble desktop computer or laptop. This has been confirmed with the dent in the sales of desktops and laptops and companies like Dell are finding it increasingly difficult to stay profitable in the old market. The real winners are smartphone and tablet manufacturers such as Samsung. So how does this impact the way users browse and especially the long standing industry of the online dating world?
Are Dating Websites Dead - Part 1
Online dating websites have been with us since the world wide web practically began. However, users behavior has been changing over the years and several free dating websites such as Plentyoffish.com, Jumpdates.com and OkCupid.com have reported significant growth in the number of users accessing their website through smartphones. There is a good percentage of users who will use the mobile applications provided by these sites and some will just browse to the internet website. This begs the question, are mobile apps the way to go?
There are highly paid economists and visionaries that are analyzing the phenomenal growth of mobile devices. It has already been predicted that there will be 1 billion shipment of smartphone devices by 2015 and hence the fervor for mobile applications. However, in business the underlying factor is naturally money and one needs to think carefully about that. The smartphone market is still in it’s infancy to generate cash unless you have a really addictive application or game that you just cannot put down. In the world of dating, the proliferation of free dating websites makes for mobile app developers in this market a challenge. The majority of the dating apps developed are always coupled with the originating dating website. In essence, the dating website will not go away anytime soon, but it continue to growth leveraging the new standards in html and browsers. Here are a few reasons for this continued growth…

Why You Are Single?
Monday, January 28th, 2013
Everybody looks out for a companion at every stage in their lives. If you are single, most of you have asked yourself “why me”? Devote some time for yourself and ask yourself the answer to these questions that are probably preventing you from developing a relationship.
• The top excuse is that I am focusing on my career. Successful people do maintain relationships. Stop hiding behind your work and look for a person to add spice to your life. Support will come in many guises in having a good partner in a relationship
Why You Are Single
• Are you afraid of change or commitment? Most people find a comfort zone in the way they live their life. A companion surely enhances the quality of life so why are you denying companionship even if you had one failed relationship?
• Have you set unrealistic standards about yourself? You believe your standards are so high that you are preventing people from meeting and relating to them. Let go and have some fun
• Relationship is a two way street which requires hard work. Are you lazy that you don’t want to work towards building and nurturing a relationship?
• I am not attractive/hot/young/smart enough to find a date is what you have started believing in? Forget what others say, get your confidence and self esteem up and focus on where you want to go
Don’t fool yourself. Go find a date for yourself amongst your friends or from online dating websites rather than hiding behind excuses.
