Once that try to force install or are packaged with something else are the worst. Nice site hope you can make a living with it. I am sick of toolbars.

Automatically ensures I will never set foot on their website again in the future. I could not agree more with the pop live agent windows that people use on their sites.

The other week I saw a blog that linked to a personal development site that had a .biz extension. I thought exactly the same thing about red flags going up.It immediately makes me think, "OK, so I click this link, it installs a trojan on my computer, the hard drive turns to garbage, and the pr0n won't stop hijacking my homepage." I'm sure it was probably a perfectly legitimate site based on the source recommending it, but why would you do that to your site?Get a .com Use the others to redirect to the .com. Holy Crap!

I've got enough toolbars taking up my screen space (Stumble Upon and and a couple others). That being said, these are all issues that date.com could fix with a minimal amount of work.

I would have to agree with your assessment of the site. Since I do web hosting / design for companies I know all to well about domain name branding, never use a .info, .us, or .shamalamadingdong domains if you have the .com or .net domains. Second, since I also do PC support and repair, I tell all my customers never ever under any and all certain terms install a toolbar, now granted they do not usually listen, but I still tell them. Third, Live Chat/Support should not be in your face, it should be there like any other tool, if I want to use it I will, if not do not hound me until I get to a point where I want to type four letter obscenities to you.
