THE MASS PUBLIC DATING ABUSE COMPANY KNOWN AS IAC
IAC's dating group is headed by Chelsea Clinton and Barry Diller, two
highly notorious people.
IAC spies on it's users and resells all of their experience data to
political parties, marketing companies and government operations entities.
IAC dating site staff read your messages and profiles.
IAC Facetracks you and sells face-tracking access to their data.
Human being's are the cattle in IAC's dating meat factories. They use
sexual desire and lowliness to trick the public into thinking that they
can find happiness. On IAC's sites, though, the public is harvested for
their data, emotional thoughts and political opinions.
IAC dumps all of the dating companies they buy into a data-harvester and
they abuse the emotions of the lonely for profit, amusement and domestic
spying.
In early 2009, IAC created Match Group, a conglomerate of Match.com and
IAC's other dating sites.[65]
After its formation, Match Group acquired a number of dating sites,
including Singlesnet in 2010,[55]
OkCupid
in 2011,[66]
and PlentyOfFish in 2015.[67]
In June 2015, IAC announced its intent to pursue an IPO of Match Group,[68]
which officially filed documents for an initial public offering on October
16.[69]
Shares of Match Group (MTCH) debuted on the Nasdaq on November 19, and
finished that first day up 23% from the initial public offering price of
$12.[70]
IAC (InterActiveCorp) is an American holding company, that owns brands across 100
countries, mostly in media
and Internet.[2][better source needed]
The company is headquartered in New York City.[3]
Joey
Levin, who previously led the company's search & applications
segment,[4]
has served as Chief Executive Officer since June 2015.[
IAC's largest shareholder, Liberty Media, exited the company in 2010,
following a protracted dispute over the 2008 spinoffs.[53][54]
Liberty traded its IAC stock for $220 million in cash, plus ownership of Evite and
Gifts.com.[53]
On the same day, Diller stepped down as CEO, though he remained as
chairman and Match.com
CEO Greg Blatt was appointed to succeed him.[53]
That same year, IAC acquired dating site Singlesnet[55]
and fitness site DailyBurn.[56]
In January 2013, IAC acquired online tutoring firm Tutor.com.[57]
On August 3, 2013, IAC sold Newsweek to the International Business Times
on undisclosed terms.[58]
On December 22, 2013, IAC fired their Director of Corporate
Communications, Justine Sacco after an AIDS joke she posted
to Twitter went
viral,[59]
being re-tweeted and scorned around the world.[60]
The incident became a byword for the need for
people to be cautious about what they post on social media.[61]
In 2014, IAC acquired ASKfm for an undisclosed sum.[62]
In November 2018, IAC announced the acquisition of TelTech a software and
mobile app company.[63]
IAC was established in 1986 as Silver King Broadcasting Company,
as part of a plan to increase viewership of the Home Shopping Network (HSN) by
purchasing local television stations.[6][7]
By 1988, Silver King had bought 11 stations for about $220 million.[7]
The company was later renamed as HSN Communications, Inc., and
then Silver King Communications, Inc.[6]
In 1992, Silver King was spun off to HSN shareholders as a
separately traded public company.[8]
In August 1995, Barry
Diller acquired control of Silver King, in a deal backed by the
company's largest shareholder, Liberty Media.[9][10]
Diller, who had led the creation of the Fox network, reportedly
hoped to use Silver King's stations as the foundation for a new broadcast
network.[10]
In December 1996, Silver King acquired an 80% stake in HSN for $1.3
billion in stock, and changed its own name to HSN, Inc.[11][12][13]
At the same time, the company acquired Savoy Pictures, a failed film studio that
owned four Fox affiliate stations through SF Broadcasting, for $210 million in stock.[14]
The company acquired several assets in the late 1990s. HSN purchased a
controlling stake in Ticketmaster Group in July 1997,[15]
and then acquired the rest of the company in June 1998.[16][17]
In February 1998, it acquired the television assets of Universal Studios (including USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel, and Universal Television's domestic
production and distribution arms) for $4.1 billion.[18][19]
The company's name was changed to USA Networks, Inc. at this
point.[19]
Continuing its acquisition strategy, the company acquired the Hotel
Reservations Network in May 1999 for $149 million.[20][21]
USA Networks merged the online division of Ticketmaster with city guide
website CitySearch in September 1998, establishing a new
company that went public as Ticketmaster Online–CitySearch (TMCS).[22][23]
USA then sold Ticketmaster proper to TMCS in 2001, retaining a 61 percent
share in the combined company, which became known as simply Ticketmaster.[24][25]
USA brought Ticketmaster back under full ownership in 2003, purchasing all
outstanding shares.[26]
Match Group, a subsidiary
of IAC/InterActiveCorp and the undisputed shark in the online
dating pond, just swallowed another fish: Today, the global
operator of dating sites including Match, Tinder ...
The acquisition
adds another service to IAC's already large dating
site portfolio. Match Group had $205 million in dating
revenue in the first quarter of 2014, the company said in its
most recent earnings statement. Business Insider previously
reported that IAC and HowAboutWe were in acquisition
talks.
Marketing 101: Online Dating sites can be a laugh a minute,
a guffaw, an eye-roll and a cacophony of OMG’s.
Ourtime.com
The Marketing Department for OurTime.com
must have concluded it would be “cute” to have a “hip
daughter” help her feeble, doddering dad with their dating
website.
The poor old guy is 62, for
heaven’s sake…what with the walker, the glasses on a chain,
the Mr. Rogers sweaters, the slippers he shuffles around in
and all that confusion with them new fangled-computers…
The daughter writes: “A Crash Course in Online
Dating for the Technically Challenged
According to the
latest headlines, boomers are hitting dating sites in
record numbers looking for love. I didn’t need a newspaper
article to figure this out because my 62-year-old
father is living proof of the trend.
While my Dad is quite adept at checking his stocks or
uncovering research about his latest ailment, he seems to
have a mental block when it comes to online dating.
He can’t quite ever remember how to locate his favorite
matchmaking site! …add changes to his
personal profile or make adjustments to his preference
settings. And! When “instant
messages” from “saucy fifty plus women” pop up on his
screen… This is where my Internet
skills and years of being single come into the picture.
You see, I have become a ‘personal help desk to support to
my Dad and all his cronies in their quest
for love online…”
Lordy, lordy, thank you! You’re right! Those pesky
text messages- IM’s and- those dastardly emails – can easily
confuse ‘cronies’ and members of The BoomBoom Generation
(50-70 yrs. old)
Oh! Wait!
According to Apple
Computer, (they make those confusing computer
machines) across the board, the average age of the iPad
owner is 50.
And, those complicated, challenging iPhones (with numbers
after them like iPhone 6 – what’s up with that?) listen to
this: more members of the BoomBoom Generation buy iPhones than
any other age group. Perhaps they buy them for the “Timer” to
remind them to take their meds and naps…
For OurTime to patronize 60
year olds – indicates they are very much out of touch
with dating demographics. I would venture to say,
OurTime has offended and alienated legions of ‘saucy’ and
‘hold the sauce’ singles ages 50, 60, 70.
OurTime – kissing cousin
to Match.com,
Chemistry.com.
Tinder,
OkCupid,
HowAboutWe, and 22 other well-known dating sites (all
owned by IAC and Barry
Diller) should know better. Online
dating is a 2.2 billion dollar business – who knew that?
Who says you can’t skewer facts for a sexier story?
And look out, Cronies, for those “saucy” 50+
women! They can be a huge threat… and,
“Saucy”…who even uses that word?
