Dating DNA today announced the immediate availability of their new Dating DNA Web App for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch Internet devices. iPhone and iPod touch users can immediately start browsing photos and compatibility scores with thousands of singles worldwide by visiting http://www.datingdna.com/iphone via Safari on iPhone and iPod touch or by visiting Apple’s website at http://www.apple.com/webapps/socialnetworking/datingdna.html.
The Dating DNA Web App brings the photo browsing and compatibility scoring features from Dating DNA’s popular free service to the palm of the user’s hand. Dating DNA users, when not at their computer, can now browse photos of other compatible singles, then delete or skip each match, or select to have them added to their favorites section, called the “DNA Strand.”
“Not only is it our desire to allow everyone to use their Dating DNA Number all across the Internet’s social graph, but we also want to make our services available on a wide array of Internet devices, such as the iPhone,” said Kevin Carmony, CEO for Dating DNA, in the press release. “Just like online dating is shifting away from traditional dating sites such as Match.com and eHarmony to social networks like Facebook and MySpace, so too are many people moving to their cell phones for interacting socially on the Internet.”
Kevin Carmony, recently-resigned CEO for desktop Linux vendor Linspire, started the free Dating DNA service in August of last year. Dating DNA provides free and open Web Services which bring 1-click compatibility scoring and other sophisticated dating features to Social Networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and Craigslist, as well as to Internet devices such as Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch.
Carmony believes that just like everyone’s genetic DNA is different, so too is everyone’s “dating DNA.” A person’s “dating DNA” is represented by a unique 9-digit number, exclusive to that individual. Users can get their free Dating DNA Number by visiting http://www.datingdna.com/ and answering a series of questions about themselves and their dating preferences.
Once a user has a Dating DNA Number, they can use their iPhone or iPod Touch device to browse photos of users with whom their compatibility score matches that user’s “Compatibility Threshold.” Unlike traditional dating sites where literally anyone can view a user’s profile and photos, and then contact them, Dating DNA keeps all information and photos private, except to those who meet or exceed a “Compatibility Threshold,” set by each user. This means photos and profiles are only seen by those a user is compatible with, based on the rules and criteria they set.
Through a patent-pending system devised by Carmony, Dating DNA encapsulates over 300 pieces of information down into a single 9-digit number, including all the particulars about a person and the type of people they prefer to date. For example, encoded in the number is a person’s hair color, height, line of employment, religion, if they have children, political leanings, and hundreds of other pieces of information. Also encoded in the number are the person’s dating preferences, such as do they prefer to date a non-smoker, someone who likes pets, someone who wants children, someone who owns their own home, and so on, as well as the weight a person places upon each of the different criteria.
The Dating DNA site, Web Services and Web Apps are 100% free to use, and utilize Web 2.0 technology to create an integrated experience that is extremely easy, fun and enjoyable for the user.

Keep dating confined to the net and AIDs will be curtailed.
people seem to have no real idea how to interact with each other.
Sure they do. First everyone isolates themselves with their music players and Internet connections. Then they re-connect by pecking away on little screens. Doing anything in person is so last decade.
Although this dating app is a surprise. I thought the iPhone was above the undatable freak crowd…
35 years ago I attracted my wife with charm, whit, and of course Robert Redford goodlooks.
How times have changed.
PS I own five iPods, got rid of all the 8-tracks and cassette players.
Whoa. Ease up, critics. We could go back to the good old days of having the parents arrange our relationships for us. Lacking that, dating, or “courtin’,” became the next system to use, but it’s still a relatively new development in human relationships. Many people are too daggone shy to meet others readily. For some, alcohol helps. For others, the net can be a tool for individuals to find like individuals, don’t you think?
” . . . with charm, whit, and of course Robert Redford goodlooks.”
You attracted her with a very small part? So, you had lots of money too?
(j/k)
Perhaps some of you have yet to meet some of the multitudes who met and married through some online service? Rather than not interacting with people, as Buster suggests, such can actually promote a much more open interaction. And it certainly opens you up to people elsewhere with whom you would have never interacted. Many of us have met enough people who successfully met online, and often married, to know this will become an increasingly mainline way to “interact” in the future.
To alleviate uncertainty, after initially interacting online, those people do eventually interact in person.
It’s fabulous i think its a brilliant way of dating. Now a days people are using Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. It has given a great contribution to increase dating. Really it a good thing for couple they mostly use online dating and i think it is very safe. We are getting interesting Articles and we are enjoying a lot after reading. I would like to tell you one thing about online dating as you know that recent study found most people were impressed with their online dating match until actually meeting them face to face, sometimes between them and the door! Also, you can tell a great deal about someone from their voice, and tone. Helps weed out the fakes. We should alert for all these types of problems. Great post and I look forward to reading more!
