With over 400 million members, Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world. Though it is does not promote itself as a dating site, thousands of couples meet on Facebook each and every day. This fact has inspired the company to create a new group of dating applications for interested Facebook singles.
The most popular of these applications is called Zoosk. At last count, Zoosk had over twenty million members, making it the single largest online dating service.
One obvious advantage of Zoosk over competing applications is that it allows members from different social networks to meet. That's right! Facebook members can converse with members from MySpace, Hi5 and Bebo. Zoosk itself is a social networking site that can be visited at Zoosk.com. Of course, the overwhelming majority of singles use Facebook apps.
Why should Facebook singles use an application like Zoosk? Because meeting other interested singles on Facebook is hard. There are simply too many of them. Dating apps do most of the heavy lifting for you. They locate people in your area who have common interests and are within your age group.
For singles with more specific interests or tastes, it is likely that there is a Facebook dating app that can accommodate them. For instance, there are applications for ethnic, religious, senior and LGBT dating. A simple Google search will reveal a full listing of current Facebook dating apps.
