Lavalife World Chat
Posted by Dave Evans
Lavalife has integrated Skype into what they are calling Lavalife World Chat, which is in beta. This is the first large dating site to integrate VOIP and starts a trend we can only hope continues to grow.
From Skype Blog:
The idea is this — you call in and record a short profile about yourself. You then listen to other people’s profiles and send them voice messages. Three times per day, they open the Lavalife World Chat room which is a virtual voice lounge where you can go and send instant voice messages to other people that are online. You can even speak to someone directly. And you can do all of this anonymously, without revealing your Skype Name to anyone, so that your safety and security are protected.
Play the audio clip to hear the first part of the call or better yet, dial up +9907LAVALIFE on Skype
and give it a try. The service is free while it’s in beta. And it’s available to callers 18 years of age or older.

I guess this is part of their big push to get rid of land lines. Lavalife makes something like 90%+ of its revenues of their "chat lines". The cost savings involved in switching to VOIP must be in the millions?

Probably something close to that. Now they just need to make the site uglier to drive more revenue.
