• Over 50% admitted to having a one night stand atleast once in the last year.
• Whilst  said that they 12% were still virgins.
• A smaller 7% only had sex once in the last year.

The inevitable “sources close to the singer” claimed that Andre, 36, was bombarding Cole with messages of support following her break-up with her husband, Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole.

The star broke his silence today to decry the claims as being “rubbish” saying:

“It’s the first I’ve heard of it! This story really made me laugh as it’s totally made up.”

As we’ve seen over recent weeks, the press are desperate to fill their pages with suggestions of dating between famous people. It is this level of frenzy and speculation that forced Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to decide to keep their own, very real, relationship under wraps

The troubles facing any two people dating are manifest enough as it is. Overcoming first date nerves, potential clashes of personality, choosing a suitable place for a first date – all of these things apply just as much to celebrities as they do to you or I. Not only that, but they must undergo those worries knowing that a camera bulb might flash from the bushes at any second and destroy any chance of privacy they might have hoped for.

So even if Peter Andre does fancy Cheryl Cole (and we certainly wouldn’t blame him, given her delectable beauty and native Geordie charm!) he’d be foolish to publically say so. The media feeding frenzy would be so great that it would be almost impossible for them to function as a couple – particularly critical as Andre is currently embroiled in a custody battle with Katie Price over their children.

So while you might envy the famous for their looks, money, fame and influence, it is worth remembering that all that comes at a terrible price to their personal and social life. They could scarcely hope to put a personal ad on a website or join an online dating site like Dating Direct – they’d be sure to run across some blabbermouth who’d be on the phone to the tabloids within seconds. Instead, they have to live their life in an intense bowl of intrusion that we mortal folk can barely imagine.

So best wishes to both Cheryl and Peter – and best of luck whether they are dating or not. We can’t help but feel they’ll need it.

Well that assumption has been shown to have some basis in fact by a study released yesterday in the USA – but perhaps not as much as you’d think.

Jeffrey Hall of the University of Kansas undertook a survey of 5000 members of a popular online dating website to test their attitudes to truth and deception. The study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that men were indeed more likely to tell lies in an online environment.

However, Hall concluded that most of these lies were motivated by a desire to ‘fit in’ with social norms rather than just a matter of simple presentation. He noted:

“What people lie about depends on what kind of people they are. For example, if you’re an extrovert, you might downplay the number of past relationships you’ve had because chances are you’ve had more relationships than an introvert.”

Those who are the most likely to tell fibs are those that Hall calls “high self monitors”. These are people who are very aware of the things that people generally like and are adept at controlling their own behaviour to fit in with these patterns. Underlying this can be character traits which the person would much rather be hidden and so they fall into a patter of “little white lies”.

Hall’s more surprising conclusion was that while men tended to engage in this behaviour more than women, the percentage difference was actually very small. Furthermore, in the study group as a whole levels of honesty were surprisingly high.

Hall points out in his summary that as most people engaged in an online relationship would ultimately like to meet up in real life, the risks associated with lying are so high as to render people more honest than you might expect.

The message is clear: if you are online dating, more often than not you can trust the other person. But still, keeps your wits about you and look for tell-tale signs that they’re not being entirely honest with you.

Specialist vs. General Dating

Some online dating sites cater for everyone; others are more specialised, catering for certain groups of people with common interests or lifestyles such as Married Dating sites like Ashley Madison. If your religion, location, sexual preference, profession or hobby is an important factor in your dating preferences then consider choosing a site which is specifically aimed at a particular group.  It should be noted, that specialist sites have a fairly limited number of registered users, and you may find just as many people who share the same interests or passions on a general dating site like Dating Direct or Social Network like Faceparty.

Information

How much do you want to know about a potential partner? Online dating sites vary as to how much information they ask from members.  Some sites only ask for very basic details such as age, location and looks. Other sites ask detailed questions and aim to match, and only allow members to register once they have filled in all the questions with an adequate amount of information. Some dating sites even have psychological tests to help you find suitable matches.  Bare this in mind when choosing an online dating site; also consider how much information you’re prepared to give before meeting a potential partner.

Shop Around

The majority of online dating sites allow you to sign up free of charge before subscribing to the paid-for functionality. Shop around and trial a few sites before parting with your cash. Check out the sites functionality, some even allow you to search through members profiles before paying!

Tip 1: Selecting a Site

Online dating is a numbers game, the more exposure your profile gets there better. Select a site which has lots of active members such as Dating Direct or eHarmony; don’t get off on the wrong foot by registering with a site that doesn’t have numbers to start with.  Join up as a free member before committing to a paid-for subscription.

Tip 2:  Create the perfect profile

Once you have found a dating site which has lots of potential partners, the next step is to create a profile that makes the most of your attributes. Include a clear photo; people tend to avoid members who don’t display an image of themselves. Don’t forget to tell people about yourself and your interests.

Tip 3: Make the first move

Don’t just set up your online dating profile, sit back and wait for people to get in touch. Be brave and make the first move, take an active approach in searching for potential dates. Remember it’s a number game, the more people you contact the more likely it is you will find the perfect partner.

Tip 4: Review your progress

If you are struggling to connect with people on the site, or still haven’t found that special one than take an objective look at the replies you are getting. It could be that your profile needs to be adjusted. It may even be worth trying a new online dating site if you’re not meeting the right people.

Once you have started talking to someone, learn how to handle your first date.

The survey, which questioned 2, 259 internet users about their online reading habits, revealed that 92% of users accessed news content on multiple platforms. Only a pitiful 7% rely on a single source to get their news. This represents a seismic shift in the media world, as newspapers and magazines have traditionally relied on a loyal subscription base as their audience.

Not only this, but internet users expect to get their news in formats and places that suit them. Fully 30% of respondents said they used personalization options to create their own custom homepages, and the majority also accessed news on the go through hand held devices and smart-phones.

The shift is critical, because it implies that old media brands are going to find themselves fighting for an audience in a way that would have seemed incredible just a decade ago. Today, people will happily accept news from a variety of sources and the carefully constructed brands that people like Rupert Murdoch have bought into are consequently on shaky ground.

As this younger generation grows up, accustomed to a much more diverse media/news landscape, the power of long-established brands such as News International is likely to wane. Furthermore, it isn’t even necessarily individual websites that are attracting people’s attention. Aggregators such as Digg.com are playing host to nothing more than a link, while a conversation around the content happens on their own space rather than on the property itself. Sharing links with friends is also an increasingly common phenomenon – bypassing even the mighty Google in the spread of content.

According to Pew:

“To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in emails”

The future landscape of content discovery will represent a diverse information ****. This means a very fragmented picture for advertisers who are trying to find ways of reaching as many people as possible. It is likely that contextual advertising will become even more important in the web infrastructure, with content-relevant ads served by the likes of Google playing an increasing role.

This is likely to drive advertising revenues for content producers down, meaning that sites will increasingly look to fund their content operations through the addition of services ancillary to their news content. In the UK media scene, august operators such as the Telegraph have a fully fledged paid online dating section and most of the tabloids offer fripperies such as bingo games which they are developing as important revenue streams.

As the line between ‘news’ in the traditional sense and ‘news content’ in the modern sense becomes more and more blurred, it will be very interesting to see how a new generation of websites operate in this new environment. Either way, the increasingly social aspect of the internet will continue to play an ever more important role.

Those rumors were finally confirmed today when Pattinson reluctantly informed The Sun that “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.”

Despite that, the pair recently turned up for the British Academy Film and Television Awards – aka the BAFTAS – separately, setting tongues wagging as to whether the fledgling romance was already in trouble.

Pattinson explained the apparent separation, saying: “we can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple, but it’s impossible.”

This reluctance to appear together is perhaps understandable. Dating is hard enough for private individuals who have to overcome the hurdles of a first date and the personal awkwardness of becoming part of each others lives. Now picture trying to do all that under the watchful eye of the world’s media, when every public utterance is pored and scraped over and even the act of getting out of a car is a major news story.

So their decision to keep things as private as possible is understandable. Hollywood couples have a long history of crumbling under the pressure of fame and scrutiny. They also have a habit of just… happening anyway. After all, during the making of a film, two super-attractive people spend much of their days acting out an intense love affair, sharing working quarters and dressing rooms and working together in a very intimate way.

The intensity of these relationships often spreads across into real life – think of Brad and Angelina – who made the leap from Mr & Mrs Smith to being Mr & Mrs Pitt in a few short months – despite already having established relationships (Angelina’s appetite for having affairs is legendary, but Pitt’s reputation was more honorable!) That keeps fans flocking to the movies to see the chemistry at work.

But it is that very attention that sounds the death-knell for celebrity couples. We wish them well, of course, but wouldn’t be surprised if their very public attempt at dating each other ultimately crumbles.

Despite all that, Twitter continues to defy predictions of its demise and today announced that it hit a new milestone: 50 million tweets in a single day.

That’s a pretty impressive statistic by any measure and suggests that Twitter is now firmly established in the social media sphere as a genuine player. The site is, in fact, so well established that savvy journalists now mine Twitter for opinion and on-the-ground reports of live events – as so aptly demonstrated by the use of the site by Iran’s Green Movement during last years protests over the elections there.

The critical test for the service’s owners must soon be on hand however. With the exponential growth curve, costs of hosting these millions of Tweets as well as the uncounted number of API calls and security updates means that investors will soon want to see a plan for Twitter that involves monetisation. Whether the site starts to carry targeted advertising, sponsored Tweets or other revenue streams, making a profitable return from a format which by it’s very nature is typically engaged with in very short bursts remains to be seen.
