In case you didn't know him, Markus runs the Canadian dating site plentyoffish.com. Markus is a true character in the dating industry. He posts a lot of comments here, which are often self-aggrandizing, thought-provolking and Canadian in nature. A lot of his thinking is counterintuitive dating executives, which is what makes Markus' story that much more interesting. Agree or disagree with him, Markus has the online dating market figured out and is making truckloads of money in the process. Not bad for a one-man operation working 2 hours a day. I will say given what I know about his infrastructure that a catastrophic hardware failure would be deadly for the site. Check out this thread, interesting to see people argue, get jealous, slander and attack Markus. Read/WriteWeb has more, including stats on the site.
