Abstract

A method of sharing information among potential dating people that eliminates the need to type the same personal information into every dating web site. Personal data are entered by a user in a main web site, and a linked second dating web site is (and possibly third and more dating web sites are) selected to have access to the data. The user then instructs the main web site to permit the second web site to access the database information, such as by checking a box on the main web site that represents the second web site. A different user can then access the first user'"'"'s personal information on both web sites, but the first user did not have to enter the same data in multiple dating web sites.
