I was clicking around Match recently and see that members can now search by state, major city and various communities: religion, non-smoking, teachers, liberal, athletic, etc.

Match is taking a play from the Matchmaker and many other dating sites (and Facebook), by creating smaller user communities out of it's date warehouse. I never received notice of this from Match's PR group, and as usual nothing popped up on my Match member page. Let me know if this has been around forever and I didn't notice it until now?
