Last week at Ignite Phoenix, I heard a presentation about a new web site, DateDesigner.com.
No, it’s not a place to find a date. That’s up to you. But if you are looking for a place to go on a date, then look no further.
You may be thinking this is only for the young single types. Well think again. Husbands out there, just ask your wife if she’d like to go on a date with you, sans kids (or even with them). I’ll betcha some big bucks her answer will be a resounding YES. (Ladies, try it out on your husbands. Men are people too and they want to go out with you. Really.) Every couple needs a “date night” now and then. And dinner at Applebee’s and a movie from Blockbuster isn’t a date folks, it’s what old married couples do because they’ve forgotten how to date.
So slide on over to DateDesigner. Find a real date for you and your sweetie.
You can search for dating places, build dates, and share them with others. Venue reviews are pulled from Yelp, locations are mapped via google. Dates are categorized into groupings such as fun, simple, romantic, adventurous, family friendly, even “over 55” and “under 21” (the latter never to be used by my daughter).
Navigation is simple, and the site is uncluttered. It’s good stuff!
I had the pleasure of meeting Beau Frusetta, the concept man and developer of DateDesigner.com at Ignite, and ran into him again over the weekend at PodCamp AZ 2008. Here’s a short video about DateDesigner in Beau’s own words.

Thank you for profiling local startup tech companies here in the valley. A good review with video reporting. WOOT!

Neat idea!
I’ve always found that those sites individually never seemed to have the amount of reviews or feedback I was looking for. Aggregation is truly a wonderful thing. Have to give it a go shortly.

That is a really cool idea for a website! I love the video interview. Great to see the man behind the idea.

Good post, thanks for the link to that useful site.
LOVE THE IDEA! Thanks for sharing, Jay. I think this is especially useful for my demographic. That’s the “still-kinda-young-but-no-kids-but-all-our-friends-have-kids-and-we-never-see-them-so-we-don’t-go-out” demographic. Might want to post a reminder around February 14th???
That is a really unique idea for a website. Pretty cool.

Your intro made me chuckle! What a great idea to go along with all those dating and meet up sites! This could come in handy on Feb. 14th…

I think my website needs a re-design after checking out those links.
