Introducing new eHarmony Blog site features … and our exclusive WEIRR technology :)

Image of a weirHere is a quick roundup of tweaks and upgrades to eHarmony Blog in the past few months.

  1. OpenID – In case you missed the previous announcement, eHarmony Blog accepts OpenID logins. If you have OpenID, you can post articles instantly, without additional registration.
  2. Javascript Marriage Counter – based on an online survey of more than 7,000 adults conducted by Harris Interactive and eHarmony last December 2007. Extrapolated so it’s completely worthless, of course!
  3. Recent Reads – Instead of bombarding you with site articles that we want you to read, why not just tell you what other people have been reading…?
    • Recent readers of this page also read – this suggests previous “browser referers” to subsequent readers.
    • What Others Recently Read – The majority of our readers come from search engines, finding us while researching eHarmony or looking for tips and help. WORR shows this perfectly. Consequently, popular articles never leave the list.
    • What eHarmony.com, Inc. Recently Read – Our VIP audience is, of course, those from the eHarmony offices. WEIRR shows what articles have eHarmony employees been interested lately. So far, WEIRR has proven two things:
      1. Want to get the instant readership attention from eHarmony? Post an article in eHB. Our eArrmony article, posted at 4pm PST, proved this.
      2. Do customer criticism, complaints and suggestions fall on deaf ears? Absolutely not. eHarmony listens closely and seeks to improve; eHarmony just almost never comments or replies, that’s all. For example, after Pyke’s criticism of the subject lines in the “new match” notifications, they brought the old one back.
  4. Email addresses are secured – We altered the blogging software slightly so that only Editors can see the IP address and email addresses of our writers and commentators. Frankly, dear, WEIRR made us do it.
  5. WPTouch – eHarmony Blog is fashionable and fast on the iPhone and iPod. It automatically uses a site theme designed for the device. Try it when you get the chance.

We welcome your feedback.

    I am a man who just checked my e-harmony “matches” a few minutes ago, and wow, what a surprise! I was matched with another man! I am demanding a full refund immediately. We’ll see!

    How do you focus your settings to prevent so many bad matches? I thought I had focused my interest in women who actually danced, rather than said they did, liked to do mountain hiking and do adventure travel rather than said they thought they might want to. Apparently, the eHarmony database engine just does keyword matches so any woman who puts “dancing” or walking or hiking in her profile is sent to me. I have spent dozens of hours reading and closing more than 250 “matches” during the past 3 months; how can I prevent that and increase the probability of receiving more compatible matches?

    How can I set preferences to avoid receiving so many matches in my inbox at once–10-15 a day are too many to cope with?

    To be frank, how can I set my preferences or settings to avoid receiving matches from unattractive, overweight women with whom I have nothing in common?

    Once one begins “open communication,” what questions can I ask to determine whether a “match” is going to turn out to be someone who will stop communicating without bothering to either tell me by email or actually close the match through the system? On 3 occasions, I’ve had open communication with apparently interested and interesting women and all 3 simply stopped communicating without being courteous enough to politely let me know. What have other men experienced?

    Thanks very much for everyone’s help.

    From eHarmony newbie, Robert
