MIAMI-Webdate Inc. said it was launching its Webdate Mobile application on Western Wireless Corp. and U.S. Cellular Corp.’s CDMA2000 1x-based data networks, providing users with access to Webdate.com’s online dating profiles, chat and real-time messaging services through their wireless devices.
Webdate noted that it’s adding more than 6,500 new members daily, and it recently ranked in the top 10 for social network sites, according to Nielsen-Netrating, with more than 1.25 million members.
