This Wednesday, July 21, 2010, DatingDirect will be offering a free trial to all new subscribers who sign up between 6 PM and midnight (UK residents only). Compared to most free dating events, this is a very small window of time to take advantage of the service.
In addition, it appears that only the users who actually signed up during this six hour period are going to be able to take advantage of the free communication. I see this as a problem because I normally recommend that people sign up ahead of time to figure out the people that they would like to contact. Even a three day free event like MatchAffinity recently had can be over in the blink of an eye, so six hours is barely any time at all really.
Still, free is free. If you are available this Wednesday evening, you might want to check it out. It does seem unfortunate that this promotion would encourage people to create one account to check the service out, and then another account once the free trial period has begun. If it turns out that I’m wrong about the rules of this promotion (and I hope that I am), I will update this post.
