You will find many fish within the dating pool but if you tried to log on to POF.com this morning you might have to hold your breath. The POF.com login was down this morning, leaving plenty of plentyoffish users wondering where they would discover their next date. No doubt a few Plenty of Fish users chose to get pay day loans to pay for a site like rival Match.com – which left some plentyoffish users wondering if there was more to this story.
POF.com login down
The POF.com login on Plenty of Fish appeared to be down on May 5, 2010 for all plentyoffish users. The POF.com login would either not appear or would not respond. Plenty of Fish hasn’t informed users when the POF.com login could be back up. Your next match could take hours to be made in case you are a plentyoffish user.
Match.com vs. Plenty of Fish
The technical issues aren’t the biggest news for Plenty of Fish recently. The news has been a Plentyoffish vs. Match.com showdown. Plenty of Fish claims that 20,000 people sign up each day while they set up over 18 million dates each and every day. Match.com sent Plentyoffish a lengthy letter on April 23, demanding that they either cease and desist or provide their proprietary Plentyoffish website info to Match.com. Plenty of Fish responded to the Match.com letter with plenty of vitriol, questioning the match.com claim of creating 12 marriages per day for their paid service. Either way, the showdown between dating online websites is giving plenty of dedicated programmers a fun matchmaking challenge.
Plentyoffish clone failed by Match.com
Match.com, in 2009, launched a website clone to plentyoffish called DownToEarth.com. Because Down to Earth didn’t do well, especially against users that already had a POF.com login, the site was shut down. There are rumors that Match.com might want to partner or purchase out plentyoffish. If this rumor is true, Match.com is choosing an interesting way to show it, with cease and desist orders that is. Perhaps Match.com needs its own POF.com login to see how it’s done.
