Palo Alto's Adult Personals Goliath

friendfinder logo.gif Family oriented Palo Alto-ites don't wan't to tell their neighbors that they work at Friendfinder. Sure the company is a huge success financially, and online dating has gone mainstream,. Friendfinder runs 25 web sites in multliple sites and it claims to have over 100M registered members.

But Friendfinder is the perverted Match.com. It runs Adult FriendFinder which bills itself as the world's largest sex and swinger personals site. That's why most of the staff at the company - now at 200 employees - are young alt kids. It does seem that Friendfinder, desperate to attract skilled workers, pays well. The company's leadership is not particularly impressive, but they are the best in the world at adult personals.
