Whois & Analysis for yourtravelmates.com

Online dating (or Internet dating) is a system that enables strangers to find and introduce themselves to new personal connections over the Internet, usually with the goal of developing personal, romantic, or sexual relationships.

An online dating service is a company that provides specific mechanisms (generally websites or applications) for online dating through the use of Internet-connected personal computers or mobile devices.

Such companies offer a wide variety of unmoderated matchmaking services, most of which are profile-based.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.

A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network.

Short messages are typically transmitted bi-directionally between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send".

Some IM applications can use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed.

More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat.

An internet relationship is a relationship between people who have met online, and in many cases know each other only via the Internet.

Online relationships are similar in many ways to pen pal relationships.

This relationship can be romantic, platonic, or even based on business affairs.

An internet relationship (or online relationship) is generally sustained for a certain amount of time before being titled a relationship, just as in-person relationships.

The major difference here is that an internet relationship is sustained via computer or online service, and the individuals in the relationship may or may not ever meet each other in person.

Otherwise, the term is quite broad and can include relationships based upon text, video, audio, or even virtual character.

This relationship can be between people in different regions, different countries, different sides of the world, or even people who reside in the same area but do not communicate in person.
