Zoosk Introduces Netflix and Last.fm Integration Into Dating Profiles

Zoosk, the world’s largest social dating community, introduced the ability for its users to link their Last.fm and Netflix accounts to their Zoosk Date Card, making it possible for singles to easily share their latest movie and music picks with potential dates. Built using the Last.fm and Netflix APIs, the integration of music and movie updates to Zoosk Date Cards gives Zoosk’s more than 30 million users more opportunities to naturally meet potential dates.
Zooskers can easily link their Last.fm and Netflix accounts to their Zoosk Date Card by providing their Last.fm username or a link to their Netflix queue’s RSS feed. Once a user links their accounts to their profile on Zoosk, music picks made on Last.fm and movie titles selected on Netflix will automatically appear on the user’s Zoosk Date Card.



“The ability to share your interests in movies and music, updated in real-time based on the selections you make on Netflix and Last.fm, gives singles ongoing, relevant, and fun conversation starters. You can listen to a new playlist on your way to work or add a movie to your Netflix queue and meet someone on Zoosk later that day who noticed your update and shares your taste in music or films.” said Shayan Zadeh, co-CEO of Zoosk.
Users can join Zoosk by adding the Zoosk application through Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, and MySpace, or by signing up at Zoosk.com. Zoosk is the only social dating community that allows users to seamlessly connect across multiple networks, meaning a Facebook user can interact with a MySpace or Hi5 user, for example.
The growth of social networks like Facebook as well as positive word-of-mouth about Zoosk is driving rapid growth of the company’s user-base. Zoosk has grown to more than 30 million users in May 2009 up from 16.5 million users in January 2009.
