Talk:Tickle.com

We should make more articles about significant weblinks from netspam. --SuperDude 04:52, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Removed "victim supermarket" paragraph about Natalee_Holloway. None of the referenced links work and the wikipedia page on Holloway and other named people do not mention Tickle or any other online sites as being involved. Seems irrelevant. --Battlehamster 09:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Tickle.com not longer dating. Appropriate page name?

As of sometime in 2005 Tickle seems to have spunoff matchmaking into a separate lovehappens.com site, leaving no matchmaking services at Tickle.com and mostly leaving IQ, personality tests/quizzes. Is the page name "Tickle (dating service)" still appropriate? Perhaps rename to Tickle.com

Moved

Since the page on tickle was vastly better, I have copied that page here. I will redirect Tickle to Tickling Shabda 08:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Sections removed to here for examination

I found the following sections in the article. The second seems to claim either that the first is a false report, or that Tickle falsely reported their closure (there seems to me to be some ambiguity). If the former, I think that this is probably a better place for the discussion. The first item doesn't appear to be referenced (although I'll admit that I looked only quickly at the items linked-to in the reference section). The third, ironically, is one of the items from the reference section, which seems to just result in Tickle's front page, and neither the page of nor, that I saw, a reference to the Wall Street Journal.

This article sounds like a much more generous appraisal of the company than it really was. As far as my memory goes, the only thing tickle or emode were interested in providing were very annoying pop-up ads. Not sure anyone ever took their quizzes via word of mouth 98.222.61.16 (talk) 14:11, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Clarification

What does the 50 phd certified questions mean? Was that just a category label for harder questions, or did they have criteria that doctoral-level experts reviewed and approved of? Perhaps similar to journal manuscript approval, with around three experts denying the questions until they agreed to accept? (or maybe revised it themselves)?
