PodDater: Meet your Date via your iPod

Peter Cohen over at Playlist has a nice write-up of PodDater, a matchmaker service via which you can download short videos of potential dates who match your profile. You can also upload your own profile if you like. PodDater even has their own blog for you to check out. One entry so far, but they ask us to be gentle, so we will be.

The FAQ says it's always free "for members" and they even offer a page of software for both PC and Mac to help convert your videos to an iPod compatible format and a list of date safe instructions so you can limit exposure to any weirdoes the service brings up.

Looking at their profiles page, you can tell they're a new service. Only four videos listed, and they're all guys. Married though I am, I did a search in my area just to see if anything would come up. Nothing. Then I did another search for "man looking for woman" with no location specified. Still nothing. "Man looking for a man" turns up two results. "Woman looking for a man" turned up four. So it looks like they only have 6 people and they are all dudes. Get in there ladies and break up that little sausage party!
