Well, the true beauty of something like Yahoo! Personals is that it does
automatic matching and, in theory, you'd never actually have to read the
ad at all -- just put in your personal attributes and find a match. The
only thing I don't like about it is its narrow focus of attributes. For
instance, there's no "Acid Rock" or "Psycho-Billy" or even "Punk Rock"
checkbox.
Yahoo! Personals seem particularly popular because adding an ad is free,
Yahoo! advertises for its own service on its web pages, and nearly
everybody uses some Yahoo! service or another.
