Mark Brooks: I guided Cupid's acquisition and integration of Predating.com in 2004.  It wasn't easy, but it's a marriage made in heaven for Cupid. Cupid knows radio.  Radio loves events.  Cupid will eventually be a hot acquisition target.  This event marks the completion of the integration. Who else will step up to the mark and consider events, en masse?  Events are a double edged sword.  Users rave about great events.  Mediocre events are not worthwhile.  Bad events are poison to your brand.  The founder of Predating did an A1 job of systematizing and perfecting the speed dating event format and ticketing, prime for Cupid to acquire and weave into their offerings.  A true differentiator.
