Crossing the divide between the online world and the real one can be an adventure. Sometimes things go off without a hitch, but there are times when the person you meet is nothing like what they showed you online. There’s buzz building around a new service called Heartbroker, and I wanted to check it out. With so much competition, a dating service that promotes open and honest sharing catches my eye.
Heartbroker is the first and only social matchmaking application that uses feedback from your trusted friends to determine compatibility for potential matches.
