ThePirateBay.org and Meezoog.com Launch Friends-Sharing Dating Network

NEW YORK, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Meezoog.com, a leading provider of trust-based social dating, announced today the launch of PirateDate.com in cooperation with ThePirateBay.org (TPB) – the leading file-sharing site.

The launch of PirateDate.com has come amid legal turmoil and efforts to shut down ThePirateBay.org.  This launch stands in contrast to recent rumors about selling TPB.  It also indicates the persistence and endurance of TPB, as well as the emergence of a web-based ecosystem to maintain TPB's existence and leadership, as well as its expansion into new markets.

The new dating network presents a radically different concept to traditional dating sites, and it follows the TPB core concept of social sharing.  PirateDate allows singles to share and assist their social connections in finding potential dates, while getting recommendations and referrals from their friends.

PirateDate utilizes Meezoog's technology to provide users with "social proximity" measurements, that allow people to efficiently filter their cyber connections.  In addition, the site is connected with Facebook and it aims to compete with leading personals sites, like Match.com and eHarmony.
