ASPIRE SYSTEMS DEVELOPS THE WEB'S FIRST VIDEO DATING SITE

"Through the emerging technology of high-speed broadband Internet access, our goal is to eliminate blind dates by promoting our interactive video website to quality single professionals across the globe", said David Ackerman, CEO, DateWatch.com.

When it comes to looking for love in the new millennium, research shows that an increasing amount of people are using the Internet to connect. Studies reveal that more people use online dating services to reach potential life partners, and then use the Internet to communicate once they are in a relationship. A recent report from Media Matrix indicates that the number of people regularly using online dating Web sites is increasing. In October 2000, 5.6 million people went online hoping for a love connection, as compared to 3.2 million in December 1999 and the numbers are increasing by the year.

DateWatch CEO, David Ackerman says, "What youngsters of today are looking for is an easy-to-use dating site that is fast, informative and contains plenty of interactive features. DateWatch.com is fully committed to providing a comfortable, accessible and informative online meeting point for singles. The video-dating facility that we have introduced is the highlight of DateWatch.com. It provides members a chance to see their prospective soulmates in action, thereby eliminating the sense of anticipation that is experienced by most of them. "

DateWatch.com is a 100% Java solution running on Sun Solaris and supported by the Oracle 8i database. Aspire formulated a mix of open source and proprietary software solutions for the site to lower development and ownership costs while retaining extreme scalability and reliability that is vital for a dating site. DateWatch.com offers its members a truly global video-streaming solution by distributing video files to servers located around the globe and ensuring that members always receive streams from the server closest to them.

Gowri Subramanian, CEO, Aspire Systems states, "We employed our proven onsite/offshore software development model to execute the DateWatch project. Having a strong onsite team creates a comfort zone for the customer, while still realizing the benefits associated with offshore development. Working with DateWatch to develop the web's first video dating site has been an exciting experience and we will continue to assist them in all their future initiatives. I wish DateWatch all success to grow and cater to the steadily growing global singles market."
