You can rotate you photo whilst uploading and can upload up to a maximum of 6 photos including profile photo.

Photo is easy uploaded and viewed right away and there is no approval process from the website administrator.

Browse & Search Feature

The menus are nicely place at the top in a tab like manner - home, search, profile, settings, community, coins, subscribe, zoosk box (email) and friends. All the features of the site are accessible via these links.

On the home page you can see which members have been online recently and on the right side you can see who has viewed your profile.

Searching for other members works similar to other dating sites; you can search by two ways; basic and advanced search.

Doing basic search you need to specify the age range of the date you are seeking, the location through zip code and distance within miles.

In the advanced search you can filter further by details such as persons height, relations, smoking, drinking, education etc.

Messaging

Messaging is one of the most important part of any dating site and something I pay more close attention to.

In zoosk you can send winks, email and gifts to your date via messaging. You are able to send one email to your date by using the credit points you got while registering but if want to sent more you must buy a premium membership, very clever.

To send a gift you must be paid member, this service is not free. The site provides IM feature like many other dating sites but you must download the zoosk messenger chat application.

You can also invite new friends to write testimony about you via Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live and Aol.

Other features

You can chat in invisible mode with your date so others won’t know your availability.

Once you register your mobile number, you can access zoosk account from your web supported device such as a smart phone, internet tablet etc.
You can also connect your zoosk account with your facebook and import all you hobbies and activities from your facebook account.

The zoosk website also has an icebreakers feature; icebreakers are questions you select that will appear on your profile for other potential matches to answer. For example;
What’s the best dream you’ve ever had?
Describe your fighting style.
What is your favorite word?

Another neat feature, you can also add from any others profiles activities and hobbies into your own profile- like books, tv show, hobbies, movies games, interest etc.

There is one more feature in zoosk.com i.e. winning coins (free credit points) by entering in the daily Zoosk raffle.

You need to come back in 24 hours to try again and win more coins.

You can earn more coins by inviting friends and also you get 2 free credit point every 24 hours just for logging in.

Buying more coins is made easy through paying sites via credit card, paypal, pay by check, bank transfer and mobile.

Member Base
My experience tells me that this site has a lot of active members with most of the user base from US and Canada. Having searched and used the various different features of the site I was able to obtain good matches related to my profile.

Longetivity

I spent a great deal of time and I can see that there is good activity amongst people that are online or signing up.  After several hour I saw that quite a few people has viewed my profile but not replying. This maybe a way to get you to upgrade to their premium membership.

Conclusion

The zoosk.com website looks very pleasing to the eye and is attractive and a has a quick registration process.

No audio/video chatting and uploading are available so the lack of such features brings the overall rating down a bit.

In this site you can send one mail only to other people with the free coin (credit) that you are given when registering but to use it without limitations, you need to become a premium member.

There is no built-in IM feature and you must download the zoosk IM application. You can use zoosk from your web supported device and also upload profile photos from your device.

You can also import other activities and hobbies from your facebook profile.
Sending gifts to potential partners requires you to be a premium user or you must buy the zoosk coins.

You can also share your link with some social site like facebook, twitter, myspace. There are many features available to the premium account holder only and the site is good for serious daters looking to find their ideal partners.
