Why Smile?

For those who feel shy or are not used to approaching others on dating site and would want to the person they are interested in to initiate the conversation, Katoto has introduced a smile feature. Just send a smile with a click of a button and watch the magic unfold.

 Whenever you visit a profile on Katoto, send a smile because:

1. A Smile makes you even more attractive.
People who like to smile make people around them feel comfortable and happy and those who make it a habit end up have more friends.

2. A Smile changes our feelings.
If you are sad, smile at someone. It will would make you feel much better.

3. Smile is contagious.
When a person smiles, they will make the atmosphere more cheerful. People you smile at will surely smile back at you!

4. A smile makes people think positive about you.
Try to do this one: Ask someone to think of a bad thing while you are smiling at them. It's next to impossible. It's because, when you smile at someone, you send out a signal saying “life is good.” Your smile often is accepted as a gift.

Keep smiling through out this week and feel positivity overcome everything else around you.

Have a great week FULL OF SMILES :D

Which online dating network to join and why

Everyday more and more single men and women are joining online dating networks to find a casual or long term relationship. The trend is catching up all over the globe and the number of online dating profiles just keeps on growing.

In today’s globally well connected world, borders are not being considered by singles who are open to explore their chances beyond their national limits. Dating networks with available singles from all over the world are growing. Although some ethnic based dating sites are doing great too but dating networks which allow users to determine their own ethnic, religious or other preferences are getting noticed the most.

So now that you have decided to join a dating network (I’m guessing since you are reading this article), the question arises, which one and why? As a writer and an active researcher of dating networks, I’ve come across a fairly new platform that focuses a lot on member interaction and it is FREE! The best feature of Katoto is its own platform currency which, very appropriately, is ‘hearts’. You can use hearts to feature your profile, send awesome icebreaker gifts, send and receive unlimited messages. On top of that, instead of the usual icebreakers (which they also have), one can send a smile to anyone if they like what they see on the person’s profile.

Another difference is that developers of this fine dating network actually listen! One day you suggest a feature or request something to be added and if it enhances your experience, voila! It’s done. I’m sick and tired of those big names in the industry which leave you high and dry.

Last but not least, Katoto is developing its own singles database which means that those you find here are genuine singles as opposed to what you find on those too big to fail dating sites and get this, big names sell your profile without you even knowing! I found my profile on a dating network that I never signed up for. They had my user name, my password and all my pics with a detailed profile. Digging further into the matter, I found out that my profile was among the thousands of others that they ‘paid for’ to the network I was using. Well if that isn’t a privacy issue, not sure what is! For now, I’m banking on Katoto.com for safe and secure browsing without allowing them to sell my dating profile. Hope you’ve received some helpful pointers. Your comments are appreciated.
