Generally, dating apps are considered a type of social media. Like social networks, online dating sites allow text messaging, photo sharing, and sometimes video chat. Many dating services collect much more sensitive data than the well-known social media companies to match singles together.
Online dating is not a topic usually covered by social media experts, despite its clear appeal to users all over the world. Dating sites are social by default, but their level on interactivity is rather limited to matches calculated by relationship algorithms.
The first social media site was Six Degrees, made by Andrew Weinreich in 1997. Six Degrees was pretty popular with users until 2003. Thats when Tom Anderson made MySpace.
