September 15, 2004 -- eTwine.com (http://www.etwine.com) has rapidly created a buzz in the social networking and online dating industry. Darrell Lerner, founder and member, believes that eTwine’s rapid growth and popularity can be attributed to its fun and interactive feel, as well as the complete integration of eTwine’s numerous unique features which combine social networking, event planning & management, and blogs, in addition to an exclusive singles scene for online dating. Lerner commented: "We believe we offer users the ultimate social experience on the net and more ways to meet people than any other site on the market." All eTwine features are currently free.

At the core of the eTwine.com site is each member’s personal community page and detailed picture profile. eTwine profiles display each member’s friends, blog entries, events, and wingmen which provide a lot more insight into the user than current sites typically do. Members can invite friends to join their personalized social community, which utilizes standard social networking tools in addition to allowing customization of events and activities based on member preferences and interests. In addition, blog entries and events posted by friends, hotlisted members, and favorite establishments are automatically filtered into each user’s community page for easy viewing. eTwine’s high-end blog application (http://www.etwine.com/?Blog=Blog) allows members to rate blog entries from 1-10 and quickly sort the most popular and funniest entries. The blog subject “funny dating stories” has generated the highest ratings amongst members with the highest rated blog entry beginning, "OK - guys just stink! Maybe I should start dating girls?" eTwine's highest rated blog entries can be found at: http://www.etwine.com/blogs/?Show=HighEntries.

eTwine's event planning & management tool allows users to browse event listings as well as create their own events where eTwine will then email all invitees and manage RSVP's directly online. Events can be created in a multitude of categories from nightlife to sports to family gatherings. When creating events, users must designate the event as public, private, or eTwine's unique "semi-private" category where the event host maintains flexible control over the guestlist. Public events are available for all to view while private events are restricted to only those specifically invited. A semi-private designation offers general details about the event but requires users to request an invitation which can then be accepted or rejected by the event host. Upon acceptance, specific details are then forwarded. The semi-private event is perfect for any situation where the event host would like additional guests, but not "just anybody." Examples would include small get-togethers such as an apartment party or even a night out on the town for a group of friends where they'd like additional company.

eTwine also allows bars, clubs, or any other type of establishment to create their own accounts in order to list events taking place at their location. Establishment accounts contain a modified profile that includes name, address, details, and photos.

eTwine's offers online daters an exclusive Singles scene unlike any other on the web. eTwine members can post events for singles-only and users then have the option to invite all singles on their hotlist with one click. Members can also send flirts or pre-written funny one-liners to 'express interest'. The most popular flirting one-liner among members is "Hey, I just noticed you looked at my profile...I’ll give you a minute to catch your breath!" Additionally, eTwine has created a unique double dating section where members invite their single friends to be their wingman. The double dating feature can be found at: http://www.etwine.com/singles/doubles.aspx. eTwine has several more unique features in beta testing that add a fun and exciting twist to online dating. These features will be unveiled shortly.
