I remember writing a blog post a few months ago about the blossoming of Caribbean online dating sites. We had counted 10 active sites at that time. Since that post hypedates.com has bit the dust and is now in the dotcom dead pool. In the mean time for you single ladies and dudes,there is still:
Jampersonals.com
Jamaicasingles.com
Caribsingles.com
Caribcupid.com
Caribbeanmatch.com
Westindiandating.com
Caribbeansingles.org
Caribbeanconnections.org
Caribnu.com
99% of the Caribbean sites remain free to join with no premium upgrades to pay for. All are like that except www.caribbeanmatch.com which has a basic free registration but to fully interact with other singles the membership fee begins at US$19.95 a month. I wonder how they are doing? Surely not as great as Caribsingles.com which now has 56,645 members as of today.
HypeDate.com is dead, long live HypeConnect.com
The day after publishing that Hypedates.com had hit the dotcome dead pool, the owner emailed me an update. He said “no you are wrong…. HypeDates.com has gone social/online dating. The site has changed its name to HypeConnect.com. The site is taking a wholistic approach, combining both Social and Online dating in one large Interactive Community. It is probably the first of its kind in the Caribbean. It’s a new trend. In a few weeks, lots of new features will be added to site, so check it out.”

Will Caribbean social networks become irrelevant as more Caribbean people continue to flock to Facebook to date, congregate and market their businesses ? There are now over 20 Caribbean-centric social sites and networks…which ones will grow, make money and be still relevant in a year’s time and which ones will fade to black?

Last year was the year of the Olympics and the Jamaican Usain Bolt snagging the title of the World’s Fastest man. It was also the year of forex trading fever in Jamaica and the rise and fall of traders and their club members. It was a year full of new ideas being launched online and others fading to black with no marketplace support. We’ve had some great questions, insights and debates here on SiliconCaribe.com and we now present to you our list of the most heavily read and commented of our blog posts for 2008. There are in no particular order and they are across a range of topics. Discover, remember, enjoy!
